Happy Veteran's Day...

I want to extend my best wishes to all the veteran's out there. Since I have my very own live veteran living in my house, I thought I'd share some past pictures with you.

Before he was Spartan, my Husband was Military Man. Special Forces Military Man. 82nd Airborne, Red Beret Military Man. You may have seen my picture earlier this week of the uniform and beret I wore for Halloween this year. Now you can see it when it was active duty:
As with so many of our troops, they look like babies when they are active duty:
But not so much like this (Hubby is on the left):
Or like this:
I never wanted to know when he was jumping, it scared the hell out of me. I was always ready to greet him with a kiss, though when he came home.
Happy Veteran's Day to my favorite veteran. You are loved and cherished and we are thankful for all you did for us. Thank your favorite veteran...or any veteran today. Without them, we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we have today!

Thank your hubby for me! Yes we all looked like babies - I was 17 when I signed up, lol. The plane looks fun to me, my favorite thing was rapelling out of helicopters [and shooting the BIG guns - anti-tank weapons].
