Army Strong

I don’t really remember by daddy being in the Army, but it’s something that I’ve always known about and been proud of.  I never realized just how much this all affected me until this past weekend, though, when we met his Army buddy for the first time.  I’d grown up hearing about this family, and every year we got Christmas cards from these people in Texas, but I never actually knew them.  I was just a baby when my daddy was away from basic training and everything.  However, now that I am aware of it, and I’ve spent some time talking to my friends about it, I think it not only takes a certain person to have that kind of background but it makes you into a certain kind of person, too.
