We're So Proud of You Dallin!!!

My little (not so little anymore) brother, Dallin, left yesterday to Afghanistan with the Air Force. He is a member of the reserves, and didn't have to go, but he volunteered to serve his country. It was a very somber experience seeing him off from Hill Air Force Base yesterday. I have so much respect for every member of the military, and for their families. It was heartbreaking watching dads kiss their babies goodbye, and husbands wiping tears from their wives faces. These men are making more of a sacrifice than we can even understand, and I hope that we can all somehow show them how grateful we are for them.

Dallin, we love you so much. We're so proud of you. You are an amazing kid, a great brother/brother-in-law, a wonderful uncle, and an honorable American. You better never forget that we'll always be here praying for you.
