I'm Comin' Home

I am sitting here in Shannon, Ireland thinking about the last two weeks. What a wonderful opportunity to be able to personally bring good cheer to our troops all the way from Pensacola. I wanted to relay a message that was given to me by almost every man and uniform I talked to while on this adventure. Quite simply.....thank you. Thank you for your support, your patriotism, and your generosity. The letters were a huge hit...please hug your kids. The phone cards meant more than you will ever know, especially on Thanksgiving day when the troops were making multiple calls to family members. Here is a HUGE cyber hug from the troops to all of you!

I look forward to being home and to sharing all the stories and photos from my trip. I can't tell you how much it means to me that I had so much support from the community. I could feel your prayers and I would just like to ask you to continue to pray for and support all the members of our military and their families. Please thank a person in uniform when you see one and remind them that their service is appreciated and recognized.

My plane is about to leave and that is one I certainly DO NOT want to miss! I will see you all back in Pensacola!
