Just got back from Oklahoma City, OK to visit and hug my bother in law, Jerry, before he leaves for Iraq. Pride swells in my heart and a tear in my eye.
He is a Navy "SeaBee" (Construction Battalion) and has about 12 days left before he ships off and two months left in the states to train.

I am so proud of him and his service to the best country, USA!
I am free because of Jerry and many like him. To be that unselfish and self sacrificing just amazes me. I am so thankful for those who can do this hard job.
Jesus said it best, as He always does when He said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
Thank you, Jerry! And to those unsung heroes like my sister that stay brave and hold down the forts so that their husbands can go off to protect our country.
God bless you guys and God bless the USA!
Thanks for adding all the great pictures!
