Maci's teacher had a friend that her husband is being deployed.
She thought this would be a great field trip and a way to get the kids involved and show support to our troops. I knew I was going to need tissues so I bought a whole box.
I cant say enough thank yous to these brave men and women.

This is where I totally lost it when I saw his daughters shirt.
Its so true and I think a lot of times we get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget that each and every day these families are without their loves ones. I know she is so proud of her Daddy
Congressman Ralph Abarham was there to speak and show his support to the troops.
He spoke to the kids and asked the questions about politics and how important education is.
This was so touching and I think this was one of the most special and we will not forget this field trip. If you have never been to a deployment ceremony I encourage you to do so.
