Military...

So today is Veterans day 2009 and at my school we had yet another great veterans day program. I felt that it was fitting to be thankful for the military and to write about it today! I am so thankful to the men and women in the military that serve for our country's freedom! Without you all our country would not be as safe as it is now!

My brother is currently in the USMC as a Cobra pilot! I could not be more proud of him! I still remember the first time he left for Iraq. Probably one of the saddest days ever! My sister in law just had their first baby 2 weeks before he had to leave and seeing him say bye to them was heartbreaking! Thank the Lord for keeping him safe and out of harms way. I don't know what I would have done if something would have happened to him! He is my big brother and I look up to him for advice and everything else. It was really great that he could call and email home to let us all know that he was safe and doing ok when he was there. As for my sister in law she is probably one of the strongest women I know! Not having your husband around like that has got to be one of the hardest things ever. So thank you Andy for what you do to protect us your family and our country and thank you to all of the Veterans out there for your service and commitment to our country as well! This country would not be the same without all of you!
