I am posting this a day early since tomorrow is not going to be a good day.
March 30th ---- Please remember all of the men and women serving in our military as well as their families and friends. As a few of you may or may not remember, March 30th is the day that Robert Lynn Hadid died in a transport accident during the "after support" of Desert Storm. 13 years ago the transport truck he was driving lost control and went over a cliff. He was pronounced DOA. I was notified at work that my life was changed forever.
I have moved on to an extent but a part of me is forever stopped at that day. Robert was my love, my friend, my lover, my everything. I can only hope that he died knowing that he saved me, loved me, and forever changed me.
Thankfully I had friends/family that were there for me and kept me here to love again. My little goose played a big role in that even though she was but a very small one. (Le, please convey that to her.)
Robert had such a strong love for THIS country, which was not the one he was raised in, his family, his friends and my family. Robert taught me to trust, love, believe. I believe that this was the reason that he was put on this earth.
So ---- remember a great man today.

Hi,

I am very sorry to hear about your beloved Robert.

I think about the servicemen and servicewomen who are in Iraq and Afghanistan and the families who are suffering the turmoil of not knowing if and when their loved one will return home.

I pray for all of you and your family as well.

Anita

I thought I posted this but I guess it didn't come through. I have made up a "business card" that I give to military people I come in contact with. These sentiments apply to robert. It reads:
"Throughout history, a few galant and brave men and women have come forward to defend the basic freedoms of mankind. You are one of those individuals who willingly have sacrificed your personal safety and comforts of home to protect us and our way of life. You are what heroes are made of. Your service to our way of life is appreciated by the vast majority of freedom loving peoples around the world and we THANK YOU.
Chief Yeoman (Ret) and Mrs. Frank W. Marler"
