I rarely post personal things on my blog, but today I wanted to share a special Veteran's Day wish to those who served. This picture is of my hubby with our four kiddos taken several years ago. I love it because all of my favorite people are together. My husband and I married at the young age of 21 and he joined the army to support us. He was in Iraq when our oldest son was born. He gave up a lot for his country and I am so proud of him. For once, I will share a card inside which deserves more recognition than the card outside.
To all of our service men and women, thank you sincerely for your sacrifices for our freedom. Happy Veteran's Day!

Beautifully said, Autumn. And we can NEVER thank those who ensure our safety enough. My dad was on 17 when he fought on Iwo Jima and Okinawa - and I think of what that cost him emotionally and physically. He was in Tokyo Bay when the surrender was delivered. They were excited the end was there, as they were preparing to invade. My husband also served in the Navy, and I'm grateful for the time he spent there, and helped keep our country safe. Our military personnel can never be thanked enough, regardless of their role - they are all vital.
Our deployed soldiers today have it more difficult I think, because it's hard to determine who is the enemy, and who they can help. Our troops are so caring, and yet others can easily take advantage of them.
Thanks to families such as yours who keep our troops motivated with their love and support. I cannot imagine how difficult it would be without that - and your many sacrifices.
love,

Such a wonderful post Autumn. My Grandad and my Dad fought for their country and my Brother has recently retired from the Navy. We call Armistice Day, Remembrance Day here in the UK - I hope we never forget to remember all our heroes. xx
You really can be proud of your wonderful husband and your lovely kids!
And I am sure your husband is just as much proud of you!
