So many people don't know the sacrifices of military families. Everyone in the family serves in their own way. My Grandmother had every one of her 6 sons and husband serve. I don't know how her heart handled it. I grew up with the stories and all of our family's celebrations were at the VFW hall that my uncles helped build with their hands. My one Uncle missed out on the 1st year of his daughter's life, all the milestones were missed. Sadly she died young, before her Father and left 2 children behind. GOD bless the families always, especially the children. I remember all of the presents my uncle sent me from Thailand while in Vietnam. I still have every one of them.
