Oh yeah, I’m going to speak at the Unitarian Church Feb. 1, and you better know that I’m going to talk about how proud I am off all the soldiers fighting for our freedom. Keep your helmets on and your shoulders low

Please forgive my typo’s. Dad was hollering for babywipes and I forgot to proofread. Typical.

It’s hard being a soldier. I know this even if I’ve never been one. Brittany’s Dad was in the Navy and he’s told me of the loneliness and isolation that occurs while being overseas. He joined to get out of a bad situation at home, and I don’t think he’s ever regretted his decision, except when he was at sea for 6 months at a time. He’s a family man and didn’t like the thought of not being able to see them for such a long time. I know that you didn’t join to get away from any bad situation, but to better yourself mentally and physically. I know you’ve done that and I’m proud. Of all my children, I didn’t expect YOU to be the one that joined the service. Such a surprise. I think you made your brothers feel a little inadequate, but they shouldn’t. It just wasn’t their thing. One good thing about the service today is that you know the internet is there to connect you with those you love, and you know that the family you have back here in the states will always be here when you come home. Friends will come and go, as they always do, but family is forever. At least this family is. Having 15 brothers and sisters is a guarantee that you will have family no matter what happens to your friends. Don’t let the insecurities of your friends bring you down. Do what is best for YOU and know that the outcome will be what God has planned.

Although we are not physically there with you, know that we are there in our thoughts and prayers. You have a connected family that will always support you! We love all of you even though I do not know you all that well. When my son joined the unit you all became my sons and daughters. I look forward in giving you all the support and respect you deserve.
