Un Bobby

"Un Bobby" bravely loading the rubber band gun for Calvin to go shoot in other people's direction.

Oh Happy Day!

BOBBY IS HOME!

Welcome Home...

(Another picture that has nothing to do with my post)

Tomorrow we welcome OMLT 1.3 and my younger brother Bobby home from Afghanistan. Bobby's wife Candace, our parents and all of his sister's will be there. (praying for our brother Matt, who is suffering through Basic Training right now) Master Sgt. Reed, who was injured in action and sent home early, will also be there to welcome them back to Ohio.

We all made signs tonight. Complete with little flags, yellow ribbons, and plenty of glitter glue.

Can't wait to see them tomorrow. Praying for the rest of our troops still in danger.

It Is a Soldier

They read this over the loud speakers at the air show, I thought of both my younger brothers.

IT IS THE SOLDIER

It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
