HOPE
 

 

This week my mind kept turning to today.

 

 Today's an anniversary. Not the good kind.

 

Tears were there many times before I could stop them; so they just fell. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

You're thought of every day sweetie,....by more people than you could probably ever imagine. 
 

 

Wade - Thanksgiving 2009 - Hindman Cabin, Nutrioso, AZ.

 

 

Your selfless actions and those of your fellow Marines are appreciated beyond what many of us can express.
 

 

Today's a reminder that because of the actions of others I have HOPE in my life for a Peaceful tomorrow.
 

 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and HOPE

Wade's actions one year ago today earned him a Purple Heart and he posthumously received
the Silver Star, the Nation's third highest honor for combat valor.

In the Marine Corps Times.
 

Honor

The Key to the life I'm so blessed to live

is held by,....

 

 

 

 

Those who serve.

 

 

 

 

 

I am grateful for their sacrifice

and that of their families.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

 

 

Honoring all U.S. Veterans this weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until Next Time,

 

Peace, Love,...and dreaming of the day where we won't need anything else.
