My cousin Bobby has left for his second tour in Iraq. He left last Tuesday and will be back next September. I just wanted to take the time and thank Bobby and all the other men and women in our armed forces. They put their lives on the line everyday for us so that we can have our freedoms. All I can say is that someone has to do it and I am thankful for those people who are braver than me, you guys are all wonderful. Me and Randy, my grandma, and Bobby's parents all went to the airport to see him off. It was an emotional and trying experience. Of course I cried because that is what I do. But I had an unforgettable experience as well. While I was at the airport I was looking around at all the other men and women leaving with my cousin and just thought to myself wow. I thought of all the other families and saw the love and tears while saying goodbye. We got to see all of them walk out of the hangar and load the plane. They took off and were gone. God Bless our troops! We love you!
