Devin, we are so incredibly proud of you!! Okay…well, actually Austin and Dylan just think you are waaayyyy cool!!!  They especially like to see your pictures. I think Troy is just jealous that you get to carry the big guns and throw grenades and stuff )  Or maybe the truth is he is jealous that I think you look smokin hot in that uniform – hee hee!

Your mom and dad do a fantastic job with this site, we’re so glad to be able to keep up with you and all of your achievements! Life here for us is ordinary, we certainly aren’t doing anything nearly as interesting or honorable as you so I will just tell you that Troy and I keep you close in our thoughts and prayers and will continue to do so.  Stay safe, remain strong and full of courage, keep positive thoughts and continue to smile!  Always, always remember that we are here at home supporting you. We miss you, we love you to pieces and we are sending BIG cozy bear hugs your way!!  Thank you for your service, sacrifice and dedication!!!  With much love and admiration – Troy, Karen, Austin & Dylan ♥
