Nine days and A wake up

Ok it's Saturday and memorial weekend, when I was growning up this meant the beginning of summer. Now being grown, served 20 years in the Army and having too many to count that has or it still serving in the military. No, I didn't grow up in a military home, my dad did serve two years in Coast Guard, my mom was a nurse not in the service. Yet my oldest brother served 26 years in the Air Force , my second oldest brother served 30 years in the Army, and I served 20 years in the Army with my husband spend 24 years in the Army. I still have serving in the Army 2 nephews and one son. I never saw war, so I guess I was luckily on that few point. My nephews and son and cousin have seen war. My one cousin committ suicide a couple years ago. My nephew who got out after serving 14 years and too many trip to wars zone messed him.
But I am grateful for our service people, they do deserve to be honor or memory of them. We have too many your service people still dying.
