All four of my brothers are now in the military, serving & protecting our country. I am so very proud of them. Military life isn't for the faint-hearted....I'm so thankful that they're courageous enough to choose the paths they have. Thankfully they are all safe and on American soil today.
Gregory (2nd from the left) joined the Airforce right after high school. We went to see him graduate boot camp in San Antonio, TX in 2005. He's been stationed in Italy, where I regretfully didn't get to visit him! He's also been in AZ and now @ Travis AFB outside of Sacramento, CA. He's single ladies! ;)
Erich joined the Army next. He graduated from bootcamp in Missouri, spent some time in Korea, and now he's stationed @ Fort Carson in CO.
Andrew, the oldest of us all, joined the Navy in 2010 and graduated from boot camp @ Great Lakes Naval Base...ironically enough not too far away from where my mom grew up in Illinois. He's now stationed with his wife and son in Kings Bay, GA. And he just got back from being on the submarine for the past 90+ days!

Being scattered across the country isn't ideal and I wish it was easier to spend time together, but at the end of the day we're all where we're supposed to be and I am thankful that we're all safe and sound, living blessed lives. Love you Andrew, Gregory, Jacob & Erich!

What a thoughtful and meaningful tribute, Aimee. Andrew, Greg, Jacob and Erich are servants of this great country of ours and you and Zach are servants in the church of our dear Lord. You all are amazing people in so many ways. I'm so proud and so grateful. God bless you all in all your endeavors always!!!! ♥
