Today is my husband Gregg’s last day in military uniform. He is finishing up his National Guard drill day and will take those boots off for the last time. He will officially retire from the United States Army on Tuesday.
He’s been in for 29 years, has served in combat zones for 8 years – first in Desert Storm (with 101st Airborne) and then Operation Enduring Freedom [with 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne)]

30 Days of Thankfulness Day 11
I am so proud of the military legacy of my family. I pray that my sons continue it, and continue to fight for and stand for America. Here is my annual “What Veteran’ Day Means to Me” posting of the honor of my family’s service to our country:
What Veteran’s Day Means to Me
I love this country. It is truly the greatest country on earth, with so much promise and potential. I get annoyed a lot of times at gluttony, greed, laziness, entitlement, etc., and I sometimes forget and let those feelings overshadow the fact that there is so much good here, so much hard work that built this land — that we live in a land that people actually die trying to get to.

Guest Post: Teresa J. Reasor on Alpha Men
I’m going to use the word man here because they’re whom I write about. Alpha men. But if you know a woman in the military, understand that every word I write can be true for her, too.
Military service is about duty, honor, and sacrifice. But the sacrifices our military personnel make are probably the hardest weight for them to bear.
When the military asks a man to sign on the dotted line they don’t tell him that his family’s signature might as well be there beside his.
