Thank you.
My buddy Dave came back from Iraq without his leg. He was willing to die to keep my family and the rest of America safe. I can never thank him enough for his sacrifice. All he ever says is: “I was just doing my job.”
Just doing my job? My kids sleep safely every night because hundreds of thousands of men and women like Dave stand watch for us every night.
Last week a bunch of us helped out at “Operation Gratitude.” Operation Gratitude puts together care packages for the troops. They are approaching the 500,000 package mark. They aren’t just sending gifts. They are sending their love and appreciation to those who would protect us. It was an honor to be a part of their project. I wish that I could bottle the emotion and love that was in that building and share it with every serviceman, women and veteran in America. To you guys over there, we love and appreciate what you are doing for us, to our core. To us at home, if you love our troops, please let them know.
Another friend of ours was wounded in Iraq. When she got to Germany she was given a hand made quilt that someone had sent from America. That a stranger had put so much love and time into this gift meant the world to her. She carried it all through her surgeries and rehab.
May God Bless you all and wrap you in a quilt of his love.
Thank you.
