In Their Boots....

I find myself thinking about the reason I started this blog only 2 short years ago, and how much our lives have changed since then. In December 2007, Bre was active duty Air Force, having been injured and a member of the 319 at Lackland. We were finishing our first year as an Air Force family.


We are still an Air Force Family. And we will always be......

Breannas journey might have taken a short detour from honorable discharge with a re-entry code that will allow her to be an airman again, to surgery to repair her injury, to starting college and looking forward to the aspirations of commissioning in as an officer. No matter what we are given, the thread of military runs deep in our lives. I never knew how strong this connection could be.

Quite by accident, I found a website called "In Their Boots". This is a profound project, highlighting families of military and how the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan affects them. Please visit www.intheirboots.com and spend some time there, it will amaze you.

May God Bless these families and their soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen, you are all heroes to me.

Glad to see you are back even if you are leaving again soon to go on that well deserved cruise!!!! I bet you are excited. My son leaves the 10th I think and will be gone for a week.

I don't know if you know we have Army, Marines and Navy in our family, just a little of everything...oops, no Air Force, but I have others growing up quickly, maybe they will go there!

Two years have come and gone pretty quickly, I am thrilled to have been a part of it. Take care and Happy New Year....2010 will be a good year.

With many family members who have served (and one that may serve again soo) plus a good friend of ours whose son is being deployed next month I find myself thinking more and more about our military personnel. God bless them and than them for keeping us free and sfae.
