Close Enounters
Gratitude first, before I talk about close encounters:
November 11th - With much Gratitude to our Veterans!
From the time America won its independence, brave souls have stood to protect the freedom we hold dear. Thank you - all of you - for your dedication and sacrifice for this great nation.
With personal gratitude to my father (USAF - Korean War), my husband (ARMY - Persian Gulf War, OIF), my son Brandon, and my daughter-in-love Becky (both Marines - OIF) for their service to our country.
Thinking of, and praying for, the soldiers of our Fort Wainwright Stryker Brigade - and all of our brave warriors on foreign lands.
