Memorial Day..........

Well this is a day that means aot to Abe, he spent 8 years in the Marine Corp and I was lucky to have 5 years of my life spent as a Marine wife (you know the saying MARINE WIFE HARDEST JOB IN THE CORP!!) I have a mug that says that LOL. I know my husband was meant to spend his life as a Marine but with a very hard circumstance that happened in our lives he was no longer able to continue his career. He will always and forever be a Marine in his heart and I love him for that! We think back on these days and think of the people that serve our country and think they really have given everything of themselves and their families. We have friends that are serving in Iraq, Abe's brother Christan served in the Army in Iraq until he was hurt and could no longer be there...... my brother served in the Air Force and was called back to duty when the war started and I was sooo worried but he only had to fill a spot at Nellis in Vegas. We have a friend (Stravers) who was on his second time in Iraq and I stop and think......Oh my goodness if Abe was still in he would be over there NO DOUBT, he was in charge of the lists to go from his command. I tell you I cried alot of tears for him not being in but as shameful as it sounds I am thankful because I could have lost him and I don't know what I would do without him. So on that I will say to our close friends that are there (Ron), we love you and hope you come home safe, GOD BLESS you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
