ARMED FORCES DAY

Well.... It's been a while since I've been here!!!  Time to update...

February found me with family friends at a 'send off' Military Ball...


Jeff, Ashley, Me & SFC John Adams @ The Yellow Ribbon Military Ball in Jackson


We had a great dinner....great music...lots of laughs...and enjoyed celebrating with about 150 

members of the MP Unit and their families and loved ones...before this group headed off to Texas for 

 training....then on to Afghanistan...




Mike with his special girl....Ashley

...Good Memories and a fun night with the 303RD MP in Jackson...

A few short weeks later...

We said 'so long till we meet again' on a cold winter morning at the unit...


 
BRO'S....Jeff n Mike....





 Me, Mike (SFC John Adams) & Jeff



Moments of Memories...Laughter...Tears...Smiles...

Mostly of Pride.....

PRAYERS
Thank You Troops!
So....Here we are...it is now May 19th...2012...

ARMED FORCES DAY

and We say our THANKS to ALL of our Military Service Men and Women...

Can't help wondering...

Each day...

How my good friend is doing over there in Afghanistan...

waiting for an "I'm OK" post on FB...

an Email...

an occasional call or text...

Wondering if the care packages sent are getting there...

Praying for his safety...for strength...for his 'Team'...

Always grateful for their service...and sacrifices they make for the rest of us back home!!!


Proudly Our Flag Waves.....

May God Bless the U.S.A.

and 

May God Bless our Troops!!!

Somehow...If you wake up each morning...
or at the end of each day...
reflect back...
and find that SOMETHING
to make you SMILE...

to give THANKS for...
If you UNDERSTAND that
EACH NEW DAY

Don't RUSH to make changes...or 
take that "CHANGES ...next EXIT"

Absolutely...
My Favorite Prayer...
The One I Hold On To...
The One that Helps get me through tough times...
The One I Cling to when struggling 
with a decision...
The One that Helps Guide me to that feeling of
