Thank you everyone!
This literally wasn't easy for me to accept at first, I was like 'why me? I'm not special enough for something like this to happen!' especially because, I don't know, I'm a part of a big family/team, you know? And we feel uncomfortable most of the time for being singled out (good or bad)...like we think we don't deserve all the attention because some people have died or been injured...we're just here doing our best. We all usually have the same response: "Thank you, but I'm a part of a bigger team and our mission can't be done alone"...
but I'm proud to represent my family here, I know there are some other soldiers on the board (Jade, and others that haven't let themselves be known probably). I've felt like I have gotten lucky enough to get
another family since joining tpf, I am a very fortunate lady to have all of you in my life!
If I've had any sort of impact on you in your opinions of soldiers, I hope it's all positive - because I serve with some
amazing people that do the most extraordinary things that you would never think. And here, there are amazing people that have the biggest hearts I have ever seen. It's truly been inspiring for me. I've said that before, but I don't get tired of repeating it. You all set the standard for the rest of society.
And rest assured I will love that Karo for the rest of my life!
