Land of the Free, Home of the Brave!








I have an incredible family and I feel blessed to have the family (extended family) that I do. I really do come form good stock. One family in particular in my extended family have 5 family members who have in the past and present served and represented our country. I wanted to say thanks to them! We have kept you all in our prayers and have thought about you often. We feel so blessed to have you representing our family and our country! Thank you for all you do! We love you and are glad your back! Welcome home Jo, Mike, James, and Chris (Is he home, I hope so) Thank you so much to you all for all you do and have done! We are glad that you are home with your little families and safe and sound! Bless you for all your hard work and sacrifice. You are courageous and brave men, and women for Amy who has served and all of you wives for doing all that you have done and bearing all that you have had to Baird (I mean bear.) Really you women are courageous and brave. I'm sitting here crying thinking about all that you amazing mothers and wives have been though the past few months and longer and I know you have truly sacrificed. Thank you for your amazing examples of being women of faith and courage. You teach me so much! We love you all and continue to keep you in our prays! Thank you Jo & Cody, Amy & Mike, Liz & James, Chris & Kim, and we can't forget their parents Lonnie & Julie Thank you all for your sacrifices! Welcome Home!
