"Courage is contagious.  Every time we choose courage, we make everyone around us a little better and the world a little braver.  And our world could stand to be a little kinder and braver." 

 ~Brene Brown~

I am thankful for the courage of all the men and women who are and have served in the 

U.S. Armed Forces!  But you know what....there are some people from near Zwolle, Holland that I love as well.....I don't know if I will ever meet them or if they are even alive, but they bravely tried to help my grandfather when his plane was shot down and there are sweet young men in a Boy Scout group there in that town that tend a small memorial with the names of the men from my grandpa's crew and they work to this day to honor them.  It is hard to explain how happy that makes me that they would care so deeply for these men.

BRINKER.  He's mine :)
