This last Sunday I had the privilege of spending time with some really amazing people. United States American soldiers and their families. I had the privilege of serving them a meal with the All American Beef Battalion. This particular group is scheduled to deploy in December but some of them had already been overseas for prior deployments.


I felt honored to serve them for one day since they serve us the other 364. I know that I am not made out of the material it would take to be a military spouse and I am amazed at the strength that these people have, not only the soldiers that fight for our freedom but those left at home praying for the safety of their loved ones.

The All American Beef Battalion is trying to serve every soldier with a steak meal and with the help of donations they are well under way, they ask for volunteers to help serve the food, Kyle and Duane where in charge of serving steaks for the day. They where scheduled to feed 900 on this particular day.
The rotisserie grill that they use holds 400 steaks. This was the best steak that I have ever eaten.


Thank you to the All American Beef Battalion for your efforts to support our troops and at least from my heart this is not enough words in the world to express the gratitude that I have for all our military troops and their sacrifices....Thank you!!!!

Life

Life Is A Gift
Life is an opportunity, …. benefit from it.
Life is beauty, …. admire it.
Life is bliss, …. taste it.
Life is a dream, …. realize it.
Life is a challenge, …. meet it.
Life is a duty, …. complete it.
Life is a game, …. play it.
Life is a promise, …. fulfill it
Life is sorrow, …. overcome it.
Life is a song, …. sing it.
Life is a struggle, …. accept it.
Life is a tragedy…. confront it.
Life is an adventure, …. dare it.
Life is luck, …. make it.
Life is too precious, …. do not destroy it.
Life is life, …. fight for it.
