Just want to say thank you to all who are serving, or have served, in protecting our freedom.

 

God bless you and your families.

My "late" Grandfathers served. I never really grew up in what you would call a "patriotic" household. I mean, normal American home, respected the flag and our troops etc. Then I met my wife...when we first started dating it seemed every year or less I'd meet another new family member that was part of the military. I've become very close to them all and respect everything they have done for us. That isn't even including her father and uncle that served also. Our cousin Ryan is currently doing his 3rd tour in Afghanistan on top of one in Iraq, and also did a short mission to stop the "Pirates" in the seas. 

 

Needless to say, I've grown a LOT more patriotic and will never be able to fully express my appreciation of the men and women that serve. 

 

Thank you all to those that currently and have formerly served to protect all of America's freedom, excluding a few states that don't abide by them, of course.
