Hang on... got some dirt in my eye.... amazing how that can happen in an office...
Man....This is just one of thousands of stories. I can't express my gratitude to our servicemen and women enough. I'm so glad they were able to have their 3rd child.

This ass in the white house needs to bring them home. We dont have to fight this war no more, we did our job and more. Our men and women have had enough. I support our troops in every which way including, bringing them home. 4 tours already some do not even make 1. This war has been going longer then WW2 come on enough is enough. Thanks for the video I am so glad it had a good outcome.
