Memorial Day

My Brother Bradley. Bradley just returns today from a tour in Germany, which also included another combat tour in Iraq. He has a few more years left before he is finished in the Army.
Bradley, Stephen, and our adopted brother Xavier, 2003. Stephen has finished in the Army (actually currently in the Reserves, but will be totally finished in a year or less), and is living in Colorado Springs attending Day Spring Bible College. He plans to work in NM this summer with a missionary couple there. God is doing great things in his life!!!!
I don't have a pic of my dad in his uniform. I wish I did!!!! This is my parents with their 3 grandchildren. One of these days there will be more!!!! (Just don't know when!!)
I know, I am a little late for this, but as they say, Better late than never, huh? Anyway, I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to my Dad and my brothers who both sacrificed time, and put their lives on the line for our freedom. My dad was in Vietnam (although not on the front lines) and both of my brothers have served 2 - 1 yr. combat tours in Iraq. We praise God that all three came back from their battles safe. (If my dad hadn't, I wouldn't be writting this, and my brothers would not have been born to serve in this war.) I also have extended family that fought in WWII, The Persian Gulf War, and others that were in Iraq also. I thank God for bringing them all home safe!!! If it weren't for people like my dad, brothers, and other family memembers, we would not be a free nation today. May God Bless America, and may America turn around and Bless God.



Thank you Daddy, Bradley, Stephen, and the rest for your sacrifice!! I am proud of ALL of you, and I love you all!!!!! God bless you!!!!



Until next time,

Esther

Xavier was adopted in 2004 not 2003. I was pg when he was adopted.

Please forgive the date error!!! Melody is right. The picture was taken in 2004, but my parents got custody of Xavier in 2003, that's why I was confused!!!!!
