okay so today being the 4th of july, my town always has a parade to celebrate the day, and its usually a big blow out, and this year was actually the best one i have been too. so anyways thats not the topic, my husband got a call this morning to walk in the parade with some other people, and it was in a few towns away so we left early. When we got there , he left with the recruitor to go get ready to ride in the parade..the parade starts and they were in the 6th vehicle back i knew it was them becuase they were all dressed in there uniforms, and my husband and the other recruits were in the black army shirts. well they come past me and the kids and my son gets up out of his seat and starts screaming.....yeahhhh yeahh...mommy look the soldiers are home(omg..idk what to say) the he said look mommy daddys a hero..(wow) i was speechless lol...my little guy even understands how important our soldiers are. I was in tears because he didnt understand that not all the soldiers where home, but he sure thought they were.

FOr those of you whos husbands are deployed, thank you
