Veteran's Day!

For the past 5 years, I have always called Cody to tell him "Happy Veteran's Day". Not sure why I always say this but I do want to recongize him. Our second graders at school put on a little assembly program today for the vets. Our Deacon spoke and then the second graders sang a few songs and said a few words about someone they knew who serves in our military. At the end of their little speeches, they all said "thank you". I'm sitting over there with the kindergarten class with tears in my eyes.

Every since Cody came back from Iraq, 5 years ago, I've always teared up when talking or reading about our soliders serving in the military. I cry when I watch every homecoming on tv because I remember the day Cody came back from Iraq. I know I was very blessed to only have my husband gone for 3 months but that was still 3 months too long.

I want to say Thank you to every service member serving right now, every service member who has served and every service members family. I'm also attaching my favorite picture of my favorite service member (and a very sexy one too). I love this picture. This was taken in March of 2003 at the port of Umm Qasr. He was helping an Iraqi who was shot. This picture was talked about on many major news networks in 2003. It was on Geraldo, CNN, MSNBC and lots of others. It covered the front page of the paper in '03.
