Well, as some of you know I had to say goodbye to my brother-n-law today. He went to Iraq for his 3rd time. It was VERY hard to say goodbye. Lots of tears. It was sad to see all the familys left behind. News people where rude. They where taken photos of everyone crying. Its one thing to take the photos 2-3 hours before hand but to take them right when they where leaving. They just got out of hand. They where in peoples faces and where told to stop and they wouldn't. Its sad that they take all these photos and videos of them leaving but they are never there when the boys come home. It really should be the other way around. My 9 year old nephew took it really hard this time. He made it back 2 times.. He will make it back a 3rd.

Thank You to those who left those nice comments.

Here are a few photos of the day....
