  • God bless our military

    We are very blessed to have our middle son home for Christmas this year.  He recently got back from serving in Iraq with the Marine Corps and is stationed back in North Carolina.  He is home for Christmas and New Year and he shared some of his pictures of his time in Iraq with me.  John Boy is the photographer in most of these, and any that he is in the photographer is unknown.  I know people complain about the youth these days, but I have to tell ya, we are proud of him and our oldest son who also served in the Marines and did 2 tours in Iraq, and our daughter and son-in-law who are both in the Army.  Our son-in-law is in Iraq right now and will be spending the next year over there.  Please keep all of these quiet hero's in your prayers.....
