Been Around

Veteran\ n. A person who has served in a military force, esp. one who has fought in a war

Do you know any veterans?
Has anyone in your family served in the military?
Did you call them today and say, "Thank You for your service"?
I hope so.

Bud & I!

My father's parents, both of them, served in the Navy.
My Uncle served in the Navy.
My Father served in the Air Force and then the Army, he made a career of it.
My Brother is currently serving in the Air Force.
My Husband has served in the Army and Air Force Reserves and will commission into the Air Force in May 2011.
My Brother-in-law, Bud's 1st brother, is preparing to commission into the Army.
My other Brother-in-law, Bud's 2nd brother, is serving in the Air Force.

All I seem to know is military life.
I used to swear that I would never marry a military man.
I used to think when I was younger that the military stunk because they always made us move.
Then I got stuck in Kansas for a few years to long.
When Bud told me that he wanted to go back to school and he wanted to commission I was so excited.
I am so excited.
We have 189 days until commissioning!
I know where we are going and I can't wait until next semester when we find out WHEN we are going.

Our future leaders!  UT AFROTC!

Anyways this is just a friendly reminder to thank a Veteran today.
I know I did.
Happy Veteran's Day to those who have, do, and will serve.
Without you we wouldn't be able to live the lives we do.

I hope you have a blessed Thursday.

P.S. Sorry I was gone most of the week, I've needed to rest for a few days.  The good news is I'm ready to get back to life and back to you all.  Thank you for your love and support.
