I have a feeling it’s more like I’ll be going down with the ship......LOL. Might as well know I fought as hard as I could which is why I give a lot of money to conservative causes and candidates. The downside is that my mailbox is filled daily with every kind of charity and conservative group imaginable and I can’t possibly give to all of them.

It does seem like whenever I get really down about the future of our country, something happens to renew my faith in it. Yesterday, we went to Wal-mart and my husband was in his flight suit still which he rarely wears in public. A little boy, about 5, came up to him and said “thank you for serving”. My husband shook his hand and told him “thank you for noticing”. His mom said “tell him what you want to be when you grow up” and the little boy said “a pilot in the Air Force”. My husband said “that is a good thing to be.....study hard”. There are still a lot of good people out there, even if it doesn’t seem like it a lot of times.

That happened to me at the Safeway.I had a Navy baseball cap on and the cashier said thanks for serving.

That had me jumping for joy the rest of the day.

Us civilians can’t thank you, if we don’t know you serve.

Thank you Lauren.
You, your husband, your kids, and every one else you folks love, and who also care for you.
