You have not only brought to life and light the emotions, pain, joy, sleepless nights, the wondering of the unknown, love, and sacrafices that not only our service men and women give so selfishly to our country, but what the families go through as well. I have read your blog since your brother's death...and there are simply no words to express in any form of comfort to you or your parents, other than to say "thank you" to you and your parents for supporting Shane's decision to serve our country...my husband is in the military...
