God bless our military and protect each one. I, as a mother of an Airman son, pray for all many times a day and feel so good knowing so many of you are praying for their safety too and that my son is included in those prayers.
This story reminds me of when I was in the Air Force, flying home on leave, wearing my dress blues. I was waiting in line for my gate at the airport in Detroit and this little guy said to his dad, "Look at the soldier Dad!"
I just smiled at the little guy. If an adult would have called me a soldier, it would have been an insult! (No offence, GI Joe ;)) When the little fella called me that, it made me proud to be an American!
May God protect and watch over all of our great servicemen and women, and bless the little children.
