| Kevin in Iraq 2008 |

| I love this picture of Kevin on the Big Island of Hawaii sometime in the early 90's. |
You are truly an example of selflessness. I know not everyone understands our decisions to be separated and perhaps many see Korea as a place of no significance but we know that is where you are supposed to be. There has been heartache and happiness in this journey of Military life but I have always been proud to stand beside you and say, yes I am a Soldier's wife.
I know that the sacrifice has been significant on your part. The loss of friends, the images that will never be erased in your mind of war.

 |
| This is a very real moment. I felt like I was intruding by taking the picture but I also feel it captures what my husband is feeling as he visits the memorial with his friend's pictures for the first time. This is not staged. |
I know the separations can be grueling. At times it's almost too much for me to bear knowing that often you are alone. I smile through the tears as I remember the times you had to play with our children via webcam (yet grateful at the same time for such technology).

| These pictures are from when Kevin was in Iraq in 2006 |
I know that the experiences you have had have not always been pleasant, I know the trials you have had to endure. I also know that in this life, there are so many blessings that have come to us as a result of being an Army Family.

| R&R 2009 |
I hope you know how proud our boys are of you, how proud they are to say their dad is a Soldier.
We may be separated again this year but know that what physical distance creates is a deeper love and appreciation in a bond that few can understand.
