Can't wait to see if there's more comments than Memorial Day! What a great way to give our troops a little escape in a book while they are away from home and at war. Thanks IndieBookCollective!! <br /><br />I grew up a Navy Brat, so I greatly appreciate the sacrifice of our military and their families! As a former Navy Brat, I know the families definitely serve and sacrifice also! Luckily, my dad wasn't sent to war (he was enlisted during the 70's) but he had A LOT of sea duty and was out to sea for months at a time! He missed many birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. We moved around the country a lot. So another big sacrifice was that we changed schools a lot (7 times in one school year moving from Virginia to California - literally coast to coast), but I wouldn't trade it for anything! I am so proud of his service. Just as I am so incredibly proud of all the heroic men and women fighting for us today whether they are overseas or stateside, they are all important to our nation. I can't wait to see them all coming home, hopefully soon. <br /><br />I would like the troop book to go to my cousin Zachary Neer serving in the United States Army in Afghanistan.<br />His email is: zach.ne(at)hotmail(dot)com<br /><br />Thanks for the free book - can't wait to read your story!<br />Melissa<br />missyebookmail(AT)mediacombb(DOT)netmksebookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707325202156121051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629102377276886689.post-47715255142562691762011-11-15T00:22:09.208-05:002011-11-15T00:22:09.208-05:00I love how you questioned your kids and shared it ...I love how you questioned your kids and shared it with us.

A couple of years ago I found out a school friend - and some one I'd stayed in touch with until we hit our early twenties - had died aged 28. He left two small children and his wife. I can't think about him without welling up because I know that all he ever wanted was a family but serving his country was something he needed to do. <br /><br />I'm glad he was able to do both but I'm eternally sorry he never came home.<br /><br />Donna<br />donna.haw@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001956228473172980noreply@blogger.com
