Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the East and gather you from the West." Isaiah 43:5

In the helicopter
The children just touch me
look at their bob hair cuts; there are 3 girls in this picture, too cute!
just wanting to "see" the American
Jon said this boy had the "greenest" eyes he had ever seen

Some of you know our past, some don't as I briefly mention it here and there. Jon was in the Army and serviced 12 years. He got out for ME so I can raise our family and live in Arizona to be and live by MY family (they ALL live in Arizona). He has been re-called by the Army, but fought it heavily for ME so he can stay here and be here for ME and got out of going back in. I am a little co-dependent, and he's a fighter, save the world, traveling man!
Even though this amazing man could have stayed in the Army, do his time and could have gotten his retirement, he got out for me and I thank him for that. During his time in Jon was a Joint Service Honor Guard at the White House and George Bush Senior inaugural guard, got a B.A in Bio-Chemistry, 173rd Airborne, 1st Chemical Officer to Parachute into Combat, Masters Degree in Global Management,Chemical Officer School, Contractor B-1 License,Air Assault badge, Airborne wings, has jumped into many countries and tons of locations all over the world,is a Captain for the U.S Army, went overseas as a Contractor in 2005 and while over there on his days off would go visit orphanages spend time and bring school supplies,clothes, and candy to the children there.
In the Muslim Countries he traveled to you can't adopt per their religion, or by now we would have a BUNCH of kids...ha ha! Jon has seen, experienced, and accomplished more in his 39 years then 20 people added up together have done. He is truly amazing, I must say.
???WHY IN THE WORLD AM I POSTING THIS???
I was going through some pictures, and came across some of his from his travels, there are tons, of palaces, peoples homes destroyed, burning villages, burning and dead people, I could go on and on but the pictures are just breath taking and make you grateful for your life.
He probably would not like me talking and showing these as he is very humble with his life.
He is a quiet man, but when he has something to say, he says it and its powerful, blunt and to the point..he is and always will be my military man.
