Tom,
That was a beautifully written statement that you made. I feel as though the words came right out of my head, for I saw myself in your words. I have my two children and I have my brothers(I am an only child and my parents are deceased). Other than that I have little as far as family goes. My brothers in the military and especially those in the 119th are my family. I feel that there are others out there who have or would have the same feelings if only they knew that we were there for them.
