Happy Memorial Day

(Eric and an Iraqi boy, 2008)

(Inside the hanger after Eric's plane landed back in Tennessee.)

No matter your beliefs on the war in the Middle East, I urge you to take a moment today to honor those who fought for your freedom to hold those beliefs. As someone who's waited for a plane bringing our troops home-some who had nobody waiting for them when they landed, as someone who's husband is sleeping in the woods tonight-not at home with me, as someone who knows people sleeping in Afghanistan tonight or flying there this month-not with family for 1 year...please remember it's not just another day off. I am so proud of our troops: past, present and future...the best part of America. Happy Memorial Day.
