A SHAMELESS TAMBOURINE
Stuck between the LL Bean boots and the ironic t-shirts of the tragically hip Portland scene.
Veteran’s Day Thank You #1- To Ben
People always comment on my brother’s name. “Benjamin - ooooh, that’s a strong name”
To which I respond “I know- I grew up wrestling with him”
My brother is the epitome of strength, honesty and love. If Jack Bauer watched more BRAVO TV. That’s my brother. Strong and loyal, but with a soft side.
I am so glad he is leading the teams that protect this country. It’s the only reason I can sleep at night. Knowing that there is someone in the military with a rational sense of right/wrong and the courage to speak out to protect those things. He has sacrificed time with his family to protect us. After a full tour in Iraq (that brought him home with a purple heart) and 1 more month to go in Afghanistan I can’t explain how proud I am (yes, I’m crying right now- don’t laugh at me).
God Bless you Ben. Can’t wait to see you, just in time for Christmas presents!
