Will Update
I’m on my way to jump into the shower, but I just wanted to update everybody on Will’s 9 month checkup appointment. They were extremely happy with everything! He is 28 1/2 inches long and 21 lbs. and 14 oz. This means that he grew an inch and a half and gained 3 lbs 6 oz since his six month checkup! He’s a big boy! LOL He’ll be needing some bull bars if he keeps growing at this pace. We’ve got a birthday party later today to go to, but I’ll try and get a picture of him up soon.

“They succeeded where lesser men failed,” said Chaplain Robert Glazener. “They proved themselves in ways that men out there who never served, never volunteered, never sacrificed, would never understand. They sought neither glory nor special recognition, but they gained both by their actions. They are the true American heroes today and deserve more honor than we can humbly bestow on them.”
The helicopter carrying the men went down seven miles east of the Bagram Air Base while on a training mission.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
