I currently have 6 soldiers in my family and I'm proud of them all!

Will have to see if I can get my scanner working right as I have pics of all of them. Also have countless pics of other generations all over the world. But, the scanner hates life right now and definitely isn't cooperative. We'll see.

PS Belly, love the shirt!

I'm currently out of town and have no pics online of me or The Wife in uniform. I'll/we will be posting them once we return home.

On a side note 11/11 is our wedding anniversary. We both thought it would be the perfect date as we are both Veterans.

As someone that witnesses everyday the toll that war has taken on our soldiers, and has also lost a friend in war, I thank each and every one of you that have served and are currently serving to protect our freedoms and keep us safe!!

I always liked this clip, though you really have to pay attention to it. I had to listen twice the first time I saw it.
