On a more serious note....
To all of those who have served in our military either currently or past. I give you my thank you. I am aware that my words are paltry compared to the extensive sacrifice you have made for your country and that it may be "cheesey" to simply say "thank you," but none the less. I am very grateful for the sacrifices you and your family have made for us all. TJ was in the military at the beginning of our marriage, and had been deployed during his tour. Although, our sacrifice was only for a short time I do understand the strength that is needed to endure.
I thank you for your courage, your loyalty, and your strength. I may not agree with our government on many things, however, I will always support our troops. For without them our freedom would fall limp and wither away. So to those who have served and are currently serving I give you my heartfelt appreciation.
I would like to also take this time to mention a new "charity" (for lack of a better word) that I have come across. Donors Choose is a website where you can donate money to whichever branch of the military that you wish. The classroom projects on the pages below benefit public school students with parents in the military. Give what you can to help these students thrive in the classroom! I encourage all of us to not simply say that we support our troops...but actually do it.
Happy Memorial Day!!

Love the Donor's Choose idea! Bo was in the Air Force for 12 years and was almost shipped out during Desert Storm. I'm so glad we have a day to honor veterans in this country.
I'll have to check out your books. Good luck on the sale.
