I'm so thankful for the many men and women who fight to protect me and my family. Because of them (the past and present) I am able to teach my kids what I want, how I want, and where I want, I can choose my religion, go to school, marry who I wanted to, have as many kids as I want, celebrate whatever I want to celebrate, carry a weapon, and so much more.
My family has a long line of servicemen. I wish I knew more information, but that is one of the greatest things about living in this country at this time, there is genealogy. I know I have a great...... something grandfather who lost his leg in the war, but I don't know much else. My grandfather was also in the military, served for many years, and was deployed several times. I also have several family members who are currently serving including uncles and cousins. I have many friends serving too. I appreciate their service and sacrifice.
I am also so thankful for the families of those who are separated from their loved ones for their service. I have seen how difficult it is to be at home attending to kids, keeping the house in order, while staying sane. My heart aches for them, but I appreciate them so much!
