Far too often we take our freedom for granted. It's easy to do. Simple things like going to Church, wearing the clothing of our choice, and other things we do everyday that people in other countries have no control over. Freedom is a wonderful thing. Recently I have gained a new perspective on freedom. My brother-in-law joined the Army Reserves back in November. He has been in Boot Camp since then learning how to serve and protect our country. And tomorrow...he will graduate Boot Camp as a squad leader and with a slew of supporters there for him. Thank you to each and every soldier...active, inactive, disabled...all soldiers past, present, and future! Thank you for your selfless love for our country! We are so proud of each and every one of you!
This man...this soldier...has made the choice to help serve and protect our country...and for that I am eternally grateful. This, by the way, is my brother-in-law. You can continue to follow his story over at my sisters blog, I Love You to Pieces.
