Just wondered who else has families in the military. I have 4 sons and 3 are in the military.
Staff Sgt. Sean, 28 and Airman Casey,21, Air Force
Specialist Patrick, 24. Army
Nephew Lt. Nick is Army in Afghanistan and Sgt Marc is our Marine in Iraq. He is my step son-in-law. His wife and 3 kids ages 6,4 and 1 wait for him in CA.
Never thought we'd have so many. I'm very proud of ALL military. My prayers go to them and their families.
Tell us about yours.

Not Family but friends are the family you get to chose right. My best friends hubby is in the army just got back from Iraq. all the rest are in the Coast Guard, one just got back from a year on a 110 Foot boat in middle east, one more is just heading there, another is in Washington and my very best friend and her hubby just got transferd to Chicago, he works at the station there. My honey just got out of the coast guard. many hugs to all the military families out there and prayers for all that have family in harms way.

My husband is a Corporal in the Marine Corps. His company was the first to cross into Iraq from Kuwait when the war began. Now he is an instructor, teaching Marines how to stay safe when they have to go.

I don't have the words to express my THANKS and LOVE for all members of the military and their families.
I hear people gripe about the war but don't take time to thank our military for the sacrifices they make so these folks have the freedom to gripe.
Both my teenage sons are members of the Civil Air Patrol (an auxiliary of the USAF with a cadet program). The oldest will be getting into the Naval ROTC at college this fall and the youngest (only 13) has his mind set on the Marines.

Cyndi,
I truly appreciate your expression of gratitude. It can be rough to live with the uncertainty of where he might be deployed to next week, but my husband loves his job, and is certainly proud to salute our colors every morning. I know he would say, "You're welcome!"

Annie,
Your ever so much welcome.
Memorial Day and Veterans Day are highly celebrated in my household, always have been, always will be. It is important to us to remember our history and the military that have given us the freedoms that so many Americans take for granted.
I've flown our country's flag every day and night (lighted) since I first moved out of my parent's house nearly 30 years ago. The flags are given to the local American Legion for proper disposal when they warrant that.
We have many in our community that wear a hat or jacket or license plate proclaiming WWII Vet or Korean Vet or Viet Nam Vet and even a few Desert Storm Vets. I never pass up a chance to extend a hand and tell them "Thank you for your service" or if I see their license plate, and we're in a car, I salute them. I doesn't take long and the looks and comments you receive from these Veterans are unforgettable.
I don't know where our country would be without the men & women that serve and the families that support them.

Hello,
Just returned from my oldest son (25) graduation at Fort Knox, Kentucky. He will be there for another 4 weeks for hotel 8 training. He is a Bradley armored vehicle mechanic (Tanks) and the additional training is for search and rescue if I am understanding it right. He will then be home for 24 days and off to Fort Irwin until they decide to deploy him else where. My second son(22) is in Iraq at Camp Taji(?) outside of Baghdad. He left in Decemeber 05 out of Fort Hood, Texas. He will be home on leave sometime during May or June. Both Boys home at the same time.YES!!!!! My youngest son (18) is looking at enlisting some time this fall. I have a nephew in the rangers and he's all over the world. Last time I heard he was in Iraq. My daughters boyfriends brother (engineer) left in December for his second tour of Iraq with the Army and his other brother is Air Force. I also have many friends who have loved ones in the service. We pray daily that all service people will be safe and return home soon. Thank you to all service people who have fought to keep us free and those who will fight in the future for our freedom. Thank you also to all the wives and families who supported their loved ones missions to keep us free.
Pray for our troops to come home safe and soon.
Enjoying the road to the simple life :>) |

Betty Jo, sounds like you have a herd of boys too. Annie I appreciate you especially. I know how it is for you as my step daughter and you are in the same position. To everyone else I'll pray for yours and you pray for mine and we'll all pray for the rest.
Thanks for sharing with me. Teddie |

My brother is a specialist in the Calvary combat unit as a medic and found out a couple days ago that he is being deployed again later this year. Last time he went he was stationed in Kosovo, but this time he will be heading to Iraq, mainly stationed in Baghdad.
