Thank you, Paul, for serving your country

 As we wind down the day of honoring all those who have served our country, I wanted to mention how proud we are of Paul for serving his country for 6 years. 

Paul is just out of the army and starting his new life. He went into the army a young naive boy of only 18 years and came out a man with a wife and darling baby girl. Many times we worried about him being overseas and perhaps in harm's way.  We were always thankful to receive the calls of, "I'm back in the states."

And our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of soldiers who didn't make it home. These are the brave ones who have paid the highest price for the freedom we hold dear to our hearts. God Bless America!

Anna--Is this your brother Paul who just had a new baby? Is that picture of Paul as a baby or the new baby? Either way...great job Paul and all others who serve to protect our country and our freedoms!

Hi Terri

Paul is my step son.  He's quit shy about any hoopala about him so we try not to do to much to honor him after six years of serving!  He was such a young 18 when he went in.....looked more like he was 12 or 13.......and now he's a real man.  Baby Eden is the little girl (not this picture). I'm not sure I'll post pics of her unless he's aok with that.  She's a doll!!

Have a GREAT week!

 

PS  My brother Paul's wife is due this month..........lots of neat stuff in our family!

Anna--Why is it that so many families end up with two people having the same name? My kids have two Uncle Mark's. Fun stuff for sure...and don't post any kids pictures. I limit what I post and say about my kids on the internet. It just makes sense. (You can always email and show off to special people.)

Exactly.......some folks like to do so but I normally haven't with the kids.  Just to family and friends.

Besides my stepson Paul is so shy he'd be embarassed if I 'showed' him off.  The Today show was asking for picks of soliers in unifomrs but I didn't send one.......no way!

I would personally like to thank Paul for my freedom! He is one of the reasons I was able to come to this country and be free.


THANK YOU PAUL!
