and for that I am eternally grateful.
Please bare with me while I post a tad about my brother; please remember I just about damn near lost him and I didn’t realize how much until my conversation with my Dad today whom by the way is also a veteran and thankfully he didn’t have to give all while in Vietnam. I love you Dad!!!
My brother is a veteran, you know the guys who do the cool directing of the fighter jets on the aircraft carriers? Yeah that was him, he also put the bombs on the planes. Anyway, his ship was the first ship to go over during the first Gulf excursion many moons ago. I’m incredibly proud of him and he’s helped make me the woman I am today. So grateful to have been able to have him as a brother.
I love you my dearest brother!!!
Brothers are the greatest. (I’m lucky enough to have two.) And every girl needs her dad. I’m so glad you have both today, Bats.
Thank you Type. I am one lucky chick!
Thanks to your brother and dad and my dad and so many others. I am so glad that your brother made it through this US nightmare too.
Dear Bats,
Thanks so much for sharing this about your brother. I was thinking you almost lost him. But now I think WE almost lost him. He is a part of America in a way I will never be. I am so thankful he will survive! What a thing. What a thing! Unspeakable.
My father is a retired officer in the Air Force so i stand beside you as we salute those who gave and give so much to protect the US!
I thank your father with all my heart.
Beautiful tribute to your brother and father, Bats!
Sincerest thanks to both of them for their service.
