Veteran's Day

Happy Veteran's Day! My cousin, Eugene, is in Iraq. Fortunately, he is safe and well and should be returning to the states this month. He's been keeping our family updated on his situation for the year he's been deployed. We continue to pray for his safe return. I am so grateful that he and other brave men and women are willing to serve our country. I appreciate the sacrifices so many families have on behalf of our country.

In Cheyenne, the Air Force has a major presence. I have many friends whose husbands are in the military. One of them just had a baby in May and her husband has been deployed to Afghanistan. She is handling it well, although she credits some of her strength to friends at church. Her situation is an example of the kind of sacrifice military families make.
