I have had alot of family serve in the Military from Grandparents, Uncles, Cousins, and Four of my brothers, one whom is still serving. My older brother Michael S. Patrick served in Iraq both wars, and Afghanistan more than once. He rode the turret and did the Dougie when pulling out to make the guys laugh and to lighten spirits.
Thankfully he made it home and retired in one piece. But to choose one person to be my Hero is impossible.
With all those who have served or are serving, those who lost limbs or gave their lives like Lt. Murphy
and countless others. I can't imagine choosing just one.
The UNITED STATES MILITARY as a whole and their Allies who serve along side of them,
are my HEROES and will always be. There can be only one, but only as a whole.
And PLEASE this holiday season, take a minute out of your busy but FREE time and pay respect to someone
who even though they don't know you, still puts his or her life on the line or works as a team member to protect
you and your Freedom each and every day, and send a card, a letter, an email, or maybe a gift this year to just say
THANK YOU for all you do. And lets not forget those who are wounded and recovering, or the families who have
lost so we can be FREE. I'm sure they would appreciate it and MORE THAN deserve it. Be a true and Proud
American and show it. I love each and everyone of you whom have served or are serving, and thank you and pray
that GOD watch over and protect you and tour families.
Sincerely and with the utmost respect & gratitude!!!
