Missed times.....last 18 years.....

  Due to Active duty and deployments I have missed seeing family and friends for the following :

I have spent at least 15 of the last 18 birthdays, somewhere other than home or with family.
I have missed 10 Christmas's.
I have missed my 10 year and 20 yr High School re-unions.
I have missed seeing my niece and nephew.
I have missed numerous family re-unions.
I have missed my new wife, our pups and our home since February.

I am sure there are many more events that I have missed...families and friends birthdays also.  I am doing well though, as I get closer to retirement, and closer to pushing forward with my campaign.  Thank you all for reading, and pass along to friends.
