Yesterday, I attended an event in Fuquay Varina that was sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Raleigh, titled 'Operation Coming Home'.

We welcomed Sgt. Joey Bozik and his wife into their new home. The event touched me deeply and I was reminded of the cost and casualties of freedom.  Joey served this country in 2004 when he was injured and lost both legs and an arm. He is an inspiration and testimony to the power of hope. He got married after the injuries and continues to support and encourage others. Joey did not allow this tragedy to end his zest for life.  Joey made a statement that I found compelling, that he would sacrifice everything to protect this country.

So we should thank and pray for Joey and all the soldiers dedicated in protecting America!
