52 Blessings: Week 12

I know, I skipped Week 11. I have the blessing in mind...just trying to figure out how to scrap it. But I really wanted to do this page because it's been on my mind so much in the last little while. I am so grateful to our troops and their sacrifices. For their willingness to leave their families to serve our country, all the while putting themselves in harm's way.

I have a friend whose husband will return from his deployment next week. He has kept a blog going while he's been in Iraq and the other day, while reading his post about being thankful, I just started to cry. His words seemed to echo what I can imagine so many other soldiers are thinking at this time. During the holidays, these soldiers are missing out on so much, and yet, they volunteered their time to do it. We all owe them so much - whether we agree with the war or not. Our soldiers need our love and our support. Now more than ever.
