Thank you all for 'loaning' us your husbands,sons,daughters,or whoever your precious family member is,that helps keep us SAFE and FREE!! I can't even begin to imagine all the sacrifices each one of you all go through in each 24 hr.time period.I wish I could personally give each one of yall a big hug and a kiss,but these words will have to do .I know tommorrow will have an even deeper meaning for all of you,especially those of you that have lost your loved one ,and for those that are alone because your loved one is away .So,tommorrow,when you see and hear all the celebrations going on,please know that it is being directed to each and every one of yall,too!! Because,you all are the "Wind Behind The Wings" to our great military !!!! God Bless all of you,and I hope yall have a GREAT day tommorrow.

Thank you, that was a much needed reminder, I was out at Pensacola beach this weekend selling shirts for the Blue Angel Airshow and there were several women walking around with signs saying how horrible the military was and that all they do is kill people, they tried leaving literature at our tent and I refused, she left it anyway and a guy I was working with, who is prior military, crumpled it up in front of her and threw it away. I know that there are people who protest the military and I have been a military brat my whole life, but no one has ever come that close to me saying these things. Thank you for your support though, it is refreshing to know that there are still people out there that support our spouses who choose to serve.

Thank you although my husband was Army National Guard he did actually have to leave and go somewhere else for 2 years.Luckily it was in state so we got to see him more than alot of people would eachother but it was still kind of hard at times...Thank you again..

Thank you for supporting our military!! You brought tears to my eyes, although these were tears from being proud, instead of missing my dh so much!! (thats a good thing!!)

Thank you!! I'm lucky to have DH home with me this year, but it's so hard when they are gone! I hope everyone is having a safe and happy 4th!
