I have an old friend from HS that is out on a aircraft career right now and I have been thinking about him and his family today. He has been out there for more than 5 months and has another few to go.
I am so thankful for him and his unit for giving their lives for us and their country.
Along with other things (that I am not aware of) he is protecting other troops that are on the ground. I am not sure about all of the dangers he is in daily, but I do know that landing a big aircraft on a strip in the middle of the ocean can't be easy.
So, today I am thankful for:
the men and women who protect our country (and the many other countries where they are protecting innocent people)
On a daily basis I forget about all of the families that are affected by having family members serving. I am sorry. I AM thankful for them all because the family members that are left behind are serving us too. So, thank-you family members for your very high sacrifice that you give on a daily basis.
Thank you, Ian and Joelle for your service. We look forward to the next time that our paths cross.
You are all in our prayers.
