    I didn't really understand the weight of our soldier's losses until visiting the American Cemetery in Normandy. A very marking experience. I am so grateful to all of our brave soldiers.

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
