Today I tried to remember my friends, the amazing men and women I met when I was a military wife. My dear friend lost her husband when he was leaving Iraq. His chopper was lifting off and a rocket made sure he never got to meet his new born daughter. Ft. Sill lost 9 soilders that day. In one simple act 9 families were changed forever.
Anyway I was thinking of how grateful I am to those who have served and do still serve. To the time I had being part of a huge family. Friends came and went with orders, but the memories we made are unforgettable.
So to my Marine up north thank you, to my ex Army man thank you for not only the time you gave to our country but for the gift of our son. To the navy man who I never really knew thank you for not only your service but the gift of my life and to my Air Force boy stay safe stay strong and know you are always loved.
The green light shines bright on my house. It's a beacon to those who serve or have so they know they have a safe place to get warm, or have a meal. I can never say thank you enough to our service members for all you sacrifice so I may live freely.
So this memorial day I decided to remember the good moments with each and know that their small moment in my life changed who I am.
Thank you
