We heard air traffic all night long. Some of the best memories of my life are of those vacations.<br /><br />"Send me." What a beautiful thought, and so true of all of these men and women. I may be a little biased, but my pride in our military never seems to diminish. <br /><br />Thanks for an "awesome" post. (Really, what other response is there? ;) ) Oh, my, you just triggered my own Pavlovian reflex…several of them, all in one post: Virginia, Virginia Beach, helicopters, and military.

My husband was stationed near there... Portsmouth, VA... You were surrounded by military!!<br /><br />What you have written is so true... but few realize the choice these men and their families make. My father-in-law was Army... fought in World War 2 and the Korean War... Two years his wife went without talking to him.. Loved your story, even though I'm sure it was a bit daunting for you!<br /><br />Funny, I wrote about the Navy Seals this week... hoorah! When talking with Jesus, the only words He said to me were "Navy Seals"... I learned alot this week about what they go through for training.<br /><br />Hope your vacation was amazing!
