My brother is a combat controller for the Air Force. He got orders to deploy, and will be leaving soon. He came to visit last week, and though it was just for an evening I feel lucky to have seen him at all. It was the first time since Christmas he has made it to visit, and with Bella being in school and a new baby I haven't gotten the chance to visit him in Washington where he is stationed. Having lived near Ft. Riley KS for a long time, I have seen many friends deploy, but never has it been a family member. It is hard to think that he is going to such a dangerous area, and what might come of it. I am proud to have such an amazing person fighting for our country. I couldn't be more happy that he took the time to come visit. He got to see Bella off to school and meet Cambri for the first time!
To all the men and women fighting, or have fought for our country, I want to say thank you. What you do is truly amazing, you are all heroes, and I wish everyone a safe trip home! To Matthew, this goes without saying, but be safe and hurry home. We all love you and will miss you greatly missed while you are gone!
