Hearing my grandpa talk about his 17 year old brother and his step dad going into the military at the same time while in the middle of World War II will give you some perspective. They both made it home. So many did not. We are forever thankful for their sacrifice! #MemorialDay

I know how I feel when I leave my kids for just a few days at a time. I can’t imagine the sacrifice of being deployed for months, putting myself in harms way, with my family back home. Extreme #Respect for so many that make that sacrifice for our country. https://t.co/RPbIvna9BH
