OUR VETERANS
I could go on and on about the wonderful people who have fought and are fighting to defend our freedoms, but I won't. I just want to say that I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for our veterans.
One thing I look forward to every year is going to the armed forces ball with Tom. (He's a civilian, but we get to go too.) And every time we chat with the other people at our dinner table, I am in awe of the things they have done in Iraq and Afghanistan. This year I sat by this young little blonde girl, and when I found out she was in transportation, it took me more questioning to realize that she was driving trucks in Iraq, and many times experienced the road side bombs and stuff. Anyway, me too on this one...
