This is just a quick post in remembrance of my friend Scottie. He was stationed near Tucson a couple years ago. While he was here, he was my home teacher and friend. Yesterday his helicopter was shot down and Scottie and another soldier lost their lives. I'm very thankful for the service he gave to this country and for the love he showed everyone. He always made time to help anyone who needed it. He helped me move at the end of July in the crazy Tucson heat, and he was always willing to listen and offer advice if needed. I think heaven definitely gained a great man yesterday. I'm sad that it means we are without him now. I know that he is in a much better place and again, I'm grateful for his friendship and service. Yesterday, being D-Day, already had so much meaning for many people and now this will again be a reminder to me of all the men and women who have sacrificed so much for us. We are truly blessed to live in this country and I'm so grateful for those who protect us daily. Thank you again Scottie for you service and friendship.
