hello heroes.

i just want to write a small post about some great people. 
as we all know, the last soldiers left iraq earlier this week. 
what a relief. 
there are many people that i respect, but the men and women of the armed forces definitely make the top of the list. the fact that complete strangers are out, fighting, serving, and protecting me... that's just the greatest act of love and service i can ever imagine. they deserve more credit than they get. i can't imagine leaving my loved ones, knowing very well that i might not come back. when i arrived in the airport it was so wonderful being able to see soldiers reunited with their families. 
i had a cousin that passed away fighting this war in iraq. so the concept is real to me. and i think these heroes go unnoticed far too often. so today i just want to say thank you. thank you for sacrificing so much to protect myself, and others in this country. 
thank you. thank you. thank you.
i am so grateful for every single one of you.

xoxo
