Today our church honored those who have served in the armed forces. 
I am lucky enough to have 5 family members who have/are serving my country. My grandma and her twin, my grandpa, my mom, and now my little sister Alison. Everyone was/is in the Army except for my mom who served in the Air National Guard. There is something special about having family members serve in the armed forces. There is no way to really describe how you feel or what it is like. I am so honored and proud. I love walking around with my sister when she has her uniform on. People say everyone loves a soldier in uniform, I have to agree. 
(Like how my grandma still fit into her uniform?!) When I see my family being honored in front of the church, there is no way I can keep the tears in (especially after seeing my grandpa get all teary eyed!) I love being able to tell people I have a sister in the army or that my mom served in the Air National Guard and that my grandparents also were in the army. I am so blessed to have such amazing heroes in my family!
