Today I have been thinking of those who serve in the Armed Forces and more directly the Army, because that is where most of my family and friends are.  A friend lost her husband yesterday in Iraq and it is just so tragic and heartbreaking.  It causes me to think of my brother in law Lim who has been there 3 times and possibly a 4th before the end of the year.  I am so grateful that he has made it home safe every time, he had some close calls that had the holy ghost not directed him may not have turned out well.  I think of Travis who is just starting his Army career and probably faces Iraq soon also.  I can't really explain why this has me so emotional, I cry about 15 times a day thinking of my friend.  Maybe it is because Britt is away from us right now and maybe it is because this is the only soldier to die in this war that I personally knew, but I am struggling to hold it together.  War stinks.  I am forever grateful to those Men and Women who devote their life to serving our great nation and my family.  Thank you Lim, Travis and Andrew you are in my prayers.
