My husband is a veteran. I very vividly remember the year we spent apart while he was a combat medic in Iraq. I remember not being able to call him and wondering when he would be able to call me. I remember worrying about whether he would hit an roadside bomb (IED- improvised explosive device) or be shot while doing daily missions into extremely volatile, dangerous cities. I also remember very well the phone call I received one night from the military, informing me that his group had hit an IED and that Erin had been mildly injured. I remember being so, SO thankful that it wasn't worse.
Not only am I the wife of a veteran, I am also the proud niece of, cousin of, daughter-in-law of, sister-in law, and friend of veterans. Soldiers make so many sacrifices so we can live in our country, safe and with plenty of freedom. I'm thankful for all the veterans for what they have done for us.
This morning, Kenzie's school had a Veteran's Day program, in which Erin was a part of. This is him with Tennessee's Adjutant General, Major General Max Haston.
