Living in San Diego this sight or sound of news stories never gets old. Perhaps it is because I am pregnant and my husband is actually going to be here if Munchkin arrives when she is supposed to.
A strike group is leaving today. That is about 7,000 people leaving this beautiful city to go support the war on terror, guard the waters off Korea or fight the pirates that are in the ocean waters that way.
This picture was taken shortly after my husband returned from deployment in 2007. Our strike group and this one passed each other. Basically this one made it so my husband could come home and not stay longer as others had to during this deployment.
As you sit and remember your thoughts of Memorial Day this year please think of those who are going to have to deal with graduation, summer vacations, 4th of July, school starting, and the up coming holidays without their mother or father. Many of us to not agree with what is going on. This does not mean we can not support our troops in whatever mission they are faced with.
Absolutely! Even if people don't agree with what is going on in the Middle East, our troops need to be supported.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of people only see what is happening in the Middle East and don't see all the other fantastic things that our troops are doing to help around the world.
