I just got back from picking up some things in WalMart to ship to my son. And while I was there I ran into a soldier and his superior. The soldier had recently returned from Iraq (Mosul). I hugged the both of them and thanked them and then all of a sudden I got sentimental and tears came to my eyes. Tears of pride and joy I guess because this handsome young man had/is served/ing his country and has returned home. May God bless all of these courageous men and women.

And to Ms. Eva Savage, job well done. I know that you will miss Lance Corporal Jeremiah Savage. My heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your son with us.

I know the feeling well. I volunteer at an Army base near my home. I feel that way every day I am there. I hug the soldiers every chance I get. They love it. You should see the smiles. I feel it is a privilege to even get on the base, and I respect that I have that opportunity. God Bless them all!
