Welcome Home

I love when soldiers come home! On Saturday, Jason and I got to welcome back Sgt Elliot Werner from Quatar, which is over in the middle east. He had been over in Quatar since November 2010. We were so happy to have him back, he has become one of our good friends. Definitely one of our faithful and reliant friends, he would do anything for us and we would do anything for him. Thankful God brought the rest of the soldiers back from 69th ADA BDE.

At the welcome home ceremony it was so touching to see families and children welcome home their loved ones. My heart about broke when I saw a young man hugging his mom and tears of joy were streaming down his face. Families, in addition to soldiers, sacrifice so much when they are on deployment. Until you are a military spouse or are family of a soldier, you can never imagine the feelings of your loved one being away for a year at a time.

Below is a picture of Elliot, on the right, with our other good friend Sgt Jose Martinez. Remember, freedom isn't free! Support those soldiers!
