a proud memorial day

so today I had to take my daughter Miranda to the airport to send her back to New Mexico. The more I get to know this young the more I fall in love with her. She is bright, full of energy and loving. and to make this memorial day more special (not that it isnt already) I can proudly say I have a daughter serving in the armed forces. She is in the Army National Guard. and I was so tickled when she called me from the airport and when she checked in giving her military ID the airline upgraded both her flights to first class! She felt so special and then during her almost 3 hr layover in Denver she checked out the USO in the airport for the first time and was excited to have done it.

I have always been proud that my Dad served this country and now I am double proud that I have a daughter doing so also!

So thank you to all our armed forces serving today or in the past, making sure that we are a free country and fighting to keep us all safe!
