Proud To Be An American

All I can say is WOW I am proud to be an American (as I hear that song playing in my head)...I am watching Oprah right now and she is at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington D.C. talking to the servicemen and women who have been injured while serving OUR country! Time after time everyone says the same exact thing...they would do it again in a heartbeat! Seeing these men and women makes me think of my amazing baby brother and best friend who are proudly serving our country! I am about to see Julie on Sunday for the first time since she came home from Iraq last August and I am hoping to hear good news from my baby brother this weekend about him being able to come home for my wedding. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about how I felt the first time we saw my brother when he was getting ready to graduate bootcamp. All I can say is thank you to everyone who is serving our country so unselfishly and a big thank you to my baby brother and best friend Julie! I love you both so much and am so proud of you! Julie I can't wait to see you on Sunday and Lil Bubba I sure do hope you make it home and are standing next to Brian and Guy when I walk down the aisle!!
