Veteran's Day

My son is a veteran, 4 deployments and another coming up early 2019. He started out in the National Guard during his sophomore year in college. He was deployed to Iraq for 2 years. He returned, finished college, and was commissioned an officer, and has been promoted a few times since then. He led a dog unit in Afghanistan. He led a sniper unit in Afghanistan. He's partnered with leaders in other countries to train their soldiers. He's a master-paratrooper, special ops, and has accomplished a lot. Sadly, he's lost some very good friends in these wars. He's a good leader and goes the extra mile to protect his soldiers. I'm so very proud of him.

God bless your son and you for his sacrifice and service. A simple thank you is just not enough. I hope your son is protected and goes on to live a long and happy life.

time to pay respect, give thanks - and remember that freedom has a price.

Thank your son for his wonderful service! We would not be a free country, if it were not like people who believe in our great country. God bless to all of our military!

Please thank your son for his service. My son is currently deployed. I pray for his safe return.

Do the math.

My husband is a veteran. I don't think I will ever forget the look on his face when he came home. After his 3rd deployment I asked him to retire and he did. Some never come home. I got lucky. He lives with the memories of those lost.
