Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Today I think of those who are making the greatest sacrifices. Children who have BOTH parents in combat.

I know two teens who's parents enlisted with the NATIONAL guard and now find themselves in combat on the other side of the world. They never thought they would be in international combat. They never thought they'd leave their children behind and come home to a young man and young woman. They never thought they'd have to rely on other family to raise their children. They were told...you will serve in California. You may have to go to another state in case of natural disaster. Then they were sent to Iraq.

Happy Fourth of July. I pray that the next one will see our troops home. God willing....
