Nightline made me cry tonight. It was a story on all the different ways our military daddies have surprised their kids when they returned home and how people have been posting on youtube all the different ways they would do it......either showing up at their school, dressing up as Santa, wrapped up in a box, just all different kinds of ways. It was heartbreaking seeing the kids faces, and the daddy's faces too. It just really hits home the kind of sacrifice that our great men and women in the military do for us. They sacrifice for us so that we can be safe, so that we can have freedom........all for us! So I am dedicating this post to all of our Brave Men and Women who are having to spend Christmas away from their families this Christmas. In a far land, in a scary land...... I'm sending out my Christmas wish to them...........that they all have the Merriest Christmas possible and that they come home safe and sound very very soon!! Thank You!
I like to teach my kids to treat the military like a celebrity.....and to always thank them for serving our country. They ARE a big deal and deserve the respect! THEY are our HEROS! THEY are the REAL celebrities!
Here is the clip from Nightline..........

A TOAST!
This was penned by someone from Forest, Ms who has been a pilot in the military for many years. He is a True Hero and I am proud to be able to say he is from my home-town!

I HAVE A TOAST; born of a warrior spirit, dedicated to men and women in our armed forces:
"Here's to fighting, lying, cheating, stealing, and drinking. If you must fight, fight for a worthy cause; if you must lie, lie for your best friend; if you must cheat, cheat death; if you must steal, steal your lover's heart; but... if you must drink, lift a glass in honor of those in harm's way on our behalf". May God bless them!
This is our Wounded warriors. Our nations finest being loaded onto a C-17 Globemaster III. They were wounded in action. We pick them up in Iraq under the cover of night. We patch them up and fly them to safety and hospitals out of harms way.-Eric Chancellor
