Pictures of my family and from Facebook of Family and Friends~So Thankful To Those Who are Serving or who have Served This Great Nation!

This is a picture of my Dad (may he RIP 5-2011) who served in the Air Force for 20 years. I grew up a military brat and lived in so many different cities and states from the time I was born until my 4th grade. We finally settled back in our hometown of Mitchell, Indiana. Growing up in a small town had it’s advantages and disadvantages but I wouldn’t change it for anything…
