(Mods, I hope this fits in the guidelines -- if not, please delete and accept my apologies)
I would like to invite your support, prayers, and/or well wishes for two young men. They are brothers and are my nephews, and they are just now embarking on their careers of service to our country.
1. 1st Lt. in U.S. Air Force, F-15E Strike Eagle. Just arrived in Quatar last Friday, and is now flying cover patrols over Iraq for our ground forces. Married with 3 children and a new one on the way.
2. Officer, Arizona Highway Patrol. Just completed all of his training last week, and is now patrolling the highways of Arizona. Married with 3 children.
When I hear the despair expressed over the young people in our country (and I have done that myself!) I have to stop and remember that we have many who have chosen to pursue dangerous and sometimes thankless jobs that need to be done. We need to be sure that we make our gratitude known.
Thank you.
