When I can't not write...

The place I keep friends and family updated on our life in the US Army. My part in that I affectionately refer to as being part of the 82nd Chairborne Division!

Happy Veterans Day!

The History of Veteran's Day


Three Generations of Soldiers in my family.

If you are looking for ways to help veterans in your area this season, there are many things you can do. Get involved. Go visit the Vets at your local VA hospital. Many of them just want some one to talk to. Write down their stories for future generations. Find out if your area has a homeless veteran's shelter (mine does) and see what they need. If you feel strongly about the need to improve veteran's benefits, write to your local congressmen and tell them so. Connect with your State VA and see what they need and how you can help.(AZ, IL)

But whatever you do today, please pray for all our Veterans and active duty military and remember to thank them when you see them.

Out of town for a few days

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be out of town for a few days starting today. My Aunt Sue passed away this week and we're driving out for the funeral.

Please keep us in your prayers as we travel to Pennsylvania and back.
