“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumph over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved? Some of what you write may be humdrum dates and places, but there will also be rich passages that will be quoted by your posterity.”

American Soldier - This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.






Russ has served his country with great honor and pride! Russ spent a year in 2004 serving in “Operation Iraqi Freedom”. It was a difficult year for Russ and for us here at home. Russ spent 5 months in Afghanistan in 2007. I am eternally grateful for the men and women who serve in our Military, the sacrifice they make and the sacrifice that the families here on the home front make. It isn’t easy but so appreciated! The Iraq deployment was especially difficult as my Mom was battling her own war of ovarian cancer. I was blessed to have my husband come home in time for him to say his last good bye to such an amazing woman which he loved with all of his heart. I am thankful to say that Russ and the entire group from the 67th Aerial Port Squadron from the 419th Fighter Wing all came home safe!
