It is great when we take the time to thank those that have served in any branch, for any reason. For they are all a team and allow us to have the Liberties we so easily take for granted.

My heart bleeds evertime I hug my children and remember and give thanks for those that allow me that opportunity to do it in peace.

I am gratefull and overwhelmed at their courage and dedication to this country. So many say that "Why are we their?"

But ask any soldier on any day that has been there and they have told me they would do it again to help the people to free them from that tyrant and to be given the opportunity to make a free choice.

They have seen the wickedness face to face, we get it filtered through politics and the media.

Thank you Soldiers of Valor.
