The Purple Heart

Is presented for:

"Being wounded or killed in any action against an enemy of the United States or as a result of an act of any such enemy or opposing armed forces"

Some of you know our son was injured just before his last tour ended. We were honored to be with him this morning when he received his Purple Heart. It was a solemn occasion, thinking of those who gave their lives and what could have been. It was a happy occasion because he was there. We were able to see him receive this medal. We could hug him, laugh with him and just feel glad.

It was no big deal......

That's what he said, this man..... the one that is my son. He was just doing his job, it could have been worse. It could have, but it wasn't and I have spent the whole weekend being really happy and grateful. Blessed that all my children are alive and well. So big deal or not, all is well in my world. Thanks to everyone who have all along kept him in your thoughts and prayers.
