Do you have any family members who serve in the military? If so, give them a heartfelt thanks from me and my family for their sacrifices.

This is unusual to have to go on 2- 6 month cruises in two years but he had been lucky with no extended cruises for a long time prior so I guess it just caught up. Still this is such a long time to be away from his wife and daughters. I got to go spend a week with them in FEB and had such a great time. They know how to enjoy each other when they are together, making up for time apart.
We can never take our freedom for granted -- so many sacrifice so much to ensure it is possible. Thank you! |
Thank your son for the sacrifices he has made for his country. I know my family and I appreciate everything he has gone through. I know you must have missed your son as much as we missed ours. Safety is always a concern for parents.
I bet the week you spent with your son FLEW by and wasn't long enough. I know you must have had a good time!
I pray for your son's continued safety while overseas. My family and I will keep him in our prayers.
Our son is a Ranger in the Army. He has served 2 tours in Iraq and just got back to the states from a tour in Afghanistan. His daughter was born while he was in Iraq. His wife and daughter lived in Italy for a year while he was in Afghanistan. This was torture for G-pa and G-ma!!
I'm so glad we all had Skype. We got to see the G-baby, and still do communicate this way. Such a sacrifice our military men and women make for us.
I want to say a personal thanks to all of those who serve our country. Thank you for helping make our country a safe place to live and for helping give us freedom.
May God bless you and keep you safe.
