Thankfulness Challenge - Day 11

Today is the day that everyone’s time lines change to show their various military family members with a post on how proud of them they are, how they miss their family members, and how much they love them. People change their profile picture to their dad in their military fatigues or their brother in his dress blues, or a mommy soldier being welcomed home by their children. They post these long stories about their military family member and each one is really touching.

As you scroll up and down your various timelines pause and read what that soldier did and think about how his/her life, actions, and sacrifice has altered your life and give a like, a comment, or even just silently pray for him/her and their families. I can't imagine how hard it has to be to be a spouse, parent, kid, friend, loved one of a soldier gone for months or years at a time.

Today, and everyday, I am thankful for those who put themselves in harms way everyday for me, I appreciate the sacrifice and salute you.

May you all make it home safely and may you come home soon!

My favorite Marine Markus Fox, along with his cousin Eric Erdman, was on the Rick and Bubba show this morning listen to his story and hear his award winning song I'm Still Coming Home, a touching song about PTSD and dealing with it from his side of the table. He also sings 22 Miles From Hell, a fantastic song about what it's like on the front line. Today marks the year anniversary of his Debut EP Thinkin' Out Loud if you like what you hear below check it out on ITunes or wherever you buy your digital music.

Thank you Markus for your service and for your message! You truly are an amazing guy and I love how you use your talents to spread awareness on suicide in the military.
