Most of you know that Pat has proudly served our country for 6 and a half long years as a member of The United States Army. We were apart most of our "dating" years, Pat away at some Army school and me in Birmingham. We were apart for the entire year we were engaged, Pat in Iraq, me still in Birmingham. We spent the entire first year of our marriage living in Columbus, GA because Pat was stationed there. When his Active Duty time came to an end, he joined the National Guard (in the hopes that we would aviod another deployment) and moved home to Huntsville. We've been apart one weekend every month since then. Well, this weekend marked the end of our Army Career. Pat served his last Drill this weekend, he turned in all of his Army issued gear, and said his goodbye to an Army that treated him well. We are both thankful for the time he spent in the Army, but are so glad to be civilians now. I have to admit. It's hard for me to not think of him as a military man, but I am so glad to have him home for good!
We are so thankful that the Lord watched over Pat and kept him safe. I am so proud of your service Pat! Thank you!
How blessed is he who considers the helpless; The LORD will deliver him in a day of trouble. The LORD will protect him, and keep him alive, And he shall be called blessed upon the earth. Psalm 41:1-3
