An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings

Hometown Heroes

9 May 2008, 8:17 am. 2 Comments. Filed under U.S. Military.

A very good friend of my has a daughter in Afghanistan.  This young lady has already done a tour in Iraq, and now is with her unit off to foreign lands again.  She has a 6 year old daughter, who is absolutely adorable, and yes, the separation is really tough on them both.  My friend moved to her daughter’s home in a different town so that young child wouldn’t have to have too many changes in her life.  This mean that my friend is now living away from her home and husband.

There are many who say “if YOU support the troops so much, why don’t YOU go over there and fight?”  Well, I’d say there are many who are unable to join the military who are making many sacrifices for those who choose to do so.

Here are some of those heroes.

Be safe, and God Bless every one of you!

    Thanks Kate. I’ll have to tell my daughter that you posted her picture. She’s the platoon leader and is very proud of her soldiers.
