I have always had a great respect for the men and women that serve our county, but my feelings are tenfold after a very dear friend was recently deployed to Afghanistan. Trevor has worked with Nate for the last 3 years and our families have become very good friends. They have helped to make us feel so at home since we moved here to Vernal. I don't know what we'd do with out them.
We felt so privileged and humbled to be able to be there when Nate was deployed. It was an experience that I can hardly put into words. It was so sad and completely overwhelming to witness all of the goodbyes being shared between the soldiers and their spouses, family, children and friends. I not only gained a deeper respect and love for these soldiers, but for their dear families left behind. I can not even begin to imagine how it must feel having to take care of everything on the home front...the kids, work, bills, house, holidays, and trying to just keep yourself together, let alone constantly worry if your spouse is ok and wonder when you will get to speak to them next. I know that not only is Nate a hero for serving our country, but so are Angie and her 3 beautiful girls. I can not believe how strong they all are. They amaze me. I honestly CAN NOT wait for the homecoming. It will be glorious!! God bless our soldiers and their families!!
