Honoring My Veteran

I am proud to say that my amazing hubs served in the US ARMY for 8 years. He was a military police officer and was called to active duty 3 times. He served 6 months in South America to help build schools, 1 year in Maryland to guard the NSA after 9/11, and he served 1 year in Iraq in 2003. Most of you know our story, but for those of you who don't......we were to be married June 2003 and on Valentine's Day he was called to active duty. Needless to say our wedding was postponed, but it was quite the celebration when he returned!

My boys and I are very proud of Daddy, and every year on Veteran's Day he comes up to our school and shares his story with my 3rd graders. Now that my boys are in school he also goes to their class and reads a book called Hero Dad, then he teaches them how to salute. (It's adorable!) 

It is always such a special experience. It is a tradition that we will continue to honor. We are ALL blessed to be a part of this MAGNIFICENT country....the US of A! And we have the men and women of our armed services to thank for keeping it safe for us all! Thank you!!!
