Sometimes I think it can be almost as hard on the families at home to wait and worry and not know what is going on.<br /><br />I pray that all your loved ones return home safely and that they return home soon.

WHEN I HEAR TAPPS, I CRY, WHEN I SEE A CONVOY TRAVELING OUR FREEWAY, OFF TO AN UNKNOWN DESTINATION, I CRY. I CRY AT THE FIREFIGHTERS AND MILITARY MEN IN PARADES. IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY OF BEING RAISED IN A MILITARY FAMILY. MY GRANDFATHERS, MY FATHER, UNCLE, AND COUSIN WHO IS NOW A US ARMY SRGT, MAJOR AND HAS SERVED SINCE 1988. IT ALL DIGS DEEP AT MY HEART. NOT OF SORROW, BUT OF PRIDE. WE ARE TRULY LUCKY FOR ALL MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE SACRAFICED FOR OUR COMFORT AND FREEDOM, MAY WE NEVER KNOW THE EXPERIENCE OF WAR ON OUR SOIL. GOD BLESS- HEATHERAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-6760939291711100722009-05-22T21:17:45.522-05:002009-05-22T21:17:45.522-05:00What a beautiful post, here we have Anzac day whic...What a beautiful post, here we have Anzac day which was last month where we give thanks to all the Australia & New Zealanders who have fought for our freedom since WW1. It would always move me to tears to see the Vets marching so proudly especially the WW1 diggers which sadly are now nearly all gone, as they would remind me of my great Uncle who served in WW1 & came home a very shattered man after what he had seen. So dear Rebecca enjoy your Memorial Day weekend, you have every reason to be proud.As we say *We will remember them*....<br /><br />lyn xxxMy Pink & Cream Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638390385400066656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-82635940259265732802009-05-22T20:54:57.840-05:002009-05-22T20:54:57.840-05:00Loved your comments today about Mary, sweet Mary, ...Loved your comments today about Mary, sweet Mary, a woman who went after what she wanted.<br />There are times when I would love to gather in a room of my blog friends, hug, and share our hearts.
