Supprot Our Troops

Tonight is the last time I get to see Lil' Bro and B for nearly 5 months. They're just finishing up tying up the loose ends and tonight, we all say good-bye. They leave tomorrow morning for basic training and IT, so I'll be at work and can't be there to see them off.
I'm not really worried, I mean, a little that by brother will open his mouth and get in trouble, but not too much. I'm just really going to miss them.
My brother and I have always been really close: and we're more alike than either of us will admit. We've been through a lot of the same things; adoption, going to school in 'The Hell Hole', dealing with my crazy mom (and not a good crazy). And B, she's so much like the sister I never had. She's the best thing to happen to Lil' Bro in a long time (not to mention, the only one of his girlfriends I liked, next to Bex). I love her, too, and am not as worried about her mouthing off a Sgt.
I've been giving the 'Support Our Troops' yard signs a lot of thought, and am working on an essay about my observations. Look for that soon.
So, to all on my non-existent and existent watchers out there, please keep Lil' Bro and B in your thoughts and prayers. But not just them; for every man and woman who chose to serve our country and for their families as well. Every soldier is someone’s little boy or girl, spouse, or mommy or daddy. Let us not forget any of them.
