Marine Corps
I’ve had a lot of time lately to think about all of the sacrifices that our troops have made, and great thanks should be given to those who serve abroad and are away from their families. However, the real heroes are the families back at home. The wives and children that are left to fend for themselves. My wife is my hero, because without her support, I would not be on this new journey.
I know that it is taking an indescribable amount of strength for her to stand behind me, and for that I am grateful. I’d be lying if I said that I won’t miss anybody… but it’s much easier to say that.
Thank you, Brittany. I love you and I might miss you while I’m gone

Hi, Kevin,
I stumbled upon your website a while back, and pulled it up today to show it to my husband (he returned a few weeks ago from a 12-month tour in Afghanistan with the Army National Guard – reading your blog while he was gone was an encouragement to me…recognition of some of the freedoms he stands for). Anyway…I can’t find any of your previous posts, but wanted to take a moment to thank you for your service. Having just survived a deployment ourselves, please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help your wife while you’re away.
Semper Fi! And Hoo-wah!
Cassie

Cassie,
Thank you for the comments. You’re correct in that I removed my previous posts. I am going to dedicate my blog to this new journey for the next few months… and I needed to make it as easy as possible for my wife to update while I’m away.
I’m glad that I was able to express the freedoms that your husband has fought to protect. His service is much appreciated.
Once I get back from all of my training, I will be uploading my old site and getting back into the swing of things.
Have a wonderful evening.
Kevin
