Veteran's Day is a special day. It is a time we can recognize our servicemen or women for the sacrifices they make for our country. I am thankful to my husband and all the sacrifices he has made in his life in order to serve our country. As a military wife I can tell you they do make them. Their family makes them. My youngest daughter was only around her daddy for 4 months before he was deployed. And our story is just one of many. I know men who served whose spouses were unfaithful, whose children needed their fathers, whose wives cried many nights while they were gone. When my husband was deployed I saw a mother leaving her BABY to serve our country. These men and women are brave and honerable and they do the jobs that are the most difficult, but have to be done. Why? So we as Americans can sleep at night without any doubt that we are safe. Thank you. Thank you. A thousand thank you's would never be enough to let you all know what you mean to me. And having been there as a family member, thank you to all you mom's who hold it together, the wives who do the job meant for two, and children who bravely face the world while daddy's "working". I recently ran across an amazing artist named Jon McNaughton. Please take the time to watch the video of this most amazing painting. It is heart touching to say the least.
I will be taking my Veteran to dinner tonight to say Thank you. I think I've posted some of our deployement pics before. But it's Veteran's Day and I am honoring my hubby. Love you Babe!
I am working today but I've made sure to tell every one I work with who has served our country Thank you's! What are you doing for the Veteran's around you?
