The Lions' Pride

I also want to say thank you!

Want to chime in and say thanks also. The older I get the more I appreciate those who have served and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

No greater feeling in the world then standing in the Atlanta airport with my family (while in uniform) getting ready to head to Afghanistan in '06 when a little I notice a little girl standing with her family about ten feet away just staring at me. She looks up to her parents and says something to them which they then respond with a nod. She quickly walks over to me and says "thank you" then walks back to her parents. At that point I knew leaving my family for an extended period of time was well worth it. I thought about that little girl everyday I was there and still to this day almost six years later think of her saying those simple words. I want to say thank you to her for making one of the hardest days of my life just a little easier. I also want to thank all my brothers and sisters in arms. God bless and Godspeed.
