Oh, another one! What great smiles on both your faces, when I know you must have had a hard time saying bye then! We appreciate your husband going to battle for us, and our prayers are with him. Thank you, tank and mrstank.
If you look closely you can see the tears gleaming in the corners of my eyes! That was a very emotional day, but as much as I miss him, I am full of pride for what our armed forces are doing over there, and that more than makes up for the temporary emptiness.
Of course, along with that goes the urge to hogtie those that think we shouldn't be there and let them live a day in the shoes of those Americans that are in the midst of what President Bush is trying to accomplish. I doubt even then they would see the truth.
It's that knowledge that makes this time so hard for me. It breaks my heart when even people that were our friends tell me that we have no business there and our guys should pull out tomorrow.
Thanks to you guys, I know that not everyone feels that way.
