  • Joey - my first born who was serving his third volunteer tour in this awful war against terror. The first message we want everyone to know is Joey was there because he felt God called him to serve his country. He could have avoided this tour, but told his chaplain he felt like God was telling him to go. So he got his orders changed and off he went. We miss him greatly, but know he is kneeling at the feet of Jesus. It is an honor to know we will see him again and that he is watching over us from above. To all who serve we owe a debt of gratitude. We know - freedom is not free.
