I know it is a celebration and not memorial day lol but you those of you who have read my blog for awhile have seen me type about my cousin "brother in my heart" before who we lost to the war in January so patriotic days are bittersweet for me and our family especially his wife and son.Mainly because it is all so new and raw to us. But I thought you would like to see a face with the name. This is a video clip I finally got recently and this was played at his memorial. The pictures in this slideshow tell it all...he is exactly who you see in the pics. :) He was a father, husband, brother, cousin, nephew, son, soldier, warrior and most importantly to our family he was our hero so instead of mourning him I am going to post this video to celebrate his sacrifice for our freedom...besides if he were here he would be telling me to quit whining and suck it up anyway haha.
Sarge...we love you and miss you dearly but are so glad and blessed that you are in a better place. :)
