Sacrifices

I am thankful for my brother, Josiah. Today he once again said "see you later" to his wife and children to go overseas and serve our country.

For many Americans, they don't even think about the soldiers away from their families any more. Yes, they are still over there and we are still sending them.

My brother is willing to sacrifice time away from his family, and seeing the birth of his 2nd son to serve his country. He is sacrificing precious summer days spent floating the river and working in the garden with his son and daughter. He is sacrificing his anniversary with his wife. He does this willingly~he was not forced. He saw a need and he stepped up.

What he is doing is so very generous, today I am proud and thankful that my brother is a soldier in the United States Army!
