Thank You

It's always difficult to imagine how different my life would have been had our son Jason not returned from Iraq with his usual smile and lively manner.

Thank you for not only protecting us as a nation, but for going the extra mile and watching out for and protecting each other. Your strength, courage, and loyalty is more than admirable.

Words will simply never be enough, but it is all that we have sometimes to express our gratitude and respect.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
