Last week, I went to Camp Pendleton and got to hang out and meet some of our brave service men, women and their families. I always enjoy getting the opportunity to visit military bases. There is nothing more eye opening than hearing their stories and seeing women with small babies, telling me their husbands are overseas and coming home in 10 months. What a reality check. The sacrifice is so real and I’m at loss sometimes of what to say or how to even fathom what it must be like to have a loved one so far away. It’s inspiring to see the strength behind their smiles.

Thank you to all the active and retired miltary- words can never express the appreciation for your sacrifice!
