A Grateful Heart- Day 11

Today I am grateful for the men and women who have served and serve this country.   I am thankful for our fathers, our cousins, our neighbors, our friends and the quietly nameless servicemen and women who we will never know.  I am proud to be closely connected to people brave enough to  stand up and protect the precious freedoms of our country. 

I am especially touched by the families of the men and women who are deployed.  We often go hours and days without seeing Kevin.  It is really hard. I cannot imagine saying goodbye and not seeing him for months or longer.  That being said, I know that my husband would take up arms and join the ranks if he was needed.  And I would sadly and proudly support him.

God bless our troops and our country.
