In Afghanistan
Today I am thankful for ALL of our troops who serve our country. Both past and present. It amazes me how easily I allow my emotions to erupt when speaking of our military. It's just one of those subjects, ya know? I'm so blessed to live in the country that I do and I'm so proud of these men and women. Especially my grandfather and very good friend, Will. My grandpa served from 61-65, I believe. It's always interesting to sit around and listen to stories :) My friend Will just last month got back from his first deployment in Afghanistan. I haven't seen him yet and won't until Christmas, but I'm so glad he's back safe!
I can't say thank you enough for all that you do.

Leah I love your blog and read everything you write. I just don't always put comments because I have trouble with doing complicated things like that. : ) However I had to tell you that Grandpa got teary eyed when I showed him this post. He was so touched that you posted his photo on Veterans day. I sometimes read your post to him and both of us are always blessed by what you write. We love you very much sweet girl!!
