I have on brother that is serving right now and one that is Awall from the army. anyways when ever my brother comes back from the war he is always rolling around in bed and getting up like every 2 or 3 hours. He gives me streagth and helps me belive that he is going to be  safe were ever he goes. I love my brothers very much and God Bless America and all of the soliders.

Anthony is my brother, he has been in B.C.T. for 17 weeks, graduated on August 5, 2011. He has been at A.I.T. since, August 7. I know it hasn't been very long, and it's not the real deal YET, but, we miss Kyle like crazy! And, I just want to thank every single family out there that has put their family at risk to do this. And, I want to thank the soldiers out there, that are fighting for me & their families & friends, I appreciate everything you have done, and I absolutely promise, that I will do whatever I can to support you. Thank you, American soldiers for all that you have done, and are going to do.

            As upset as I was at first, i am excited to share that my cousin is about to graduate from basic training in about two weeks.My family is very excited,and everyone is flyingin from all over the united states to support him. Our family is very patriotic, and think its right to give our respects to the country a fair amount of time. Everyone is proud of my cousin for getting off his but and doing something with his life. Because of the hard times he as had,we are proud to see him dress handsomely in a uniform that symbolizes our country.      I was upset at first, because i didnt want him to leave. He is so...»

I really have a want to join the military.. im not to the age yet but its a really good choice in life to make. I love the thought of fighting for our  country and putting end to terroist.. my family is all military

Because I'm me. That's part of it, but I guess you can include it's because of where I've come from and what I've been through. I grew up in San Francisco, CA; however, I was raised in Pacifica, CA. My family moved to Mountain View in 2000. There's not much to my life, besides some obstacles that I've gone through - such as losing my father to cancer in 2007. I haven't let his death hold me back though, he is the reason I keep going so I can keep him and my mom proud. My brother (who is two years older than me) has always been interested in joining the military, so he is the person who got me interested in joining as well. In fact, he leaves to BCT in...»

Hello everyone. On March 7th, 2011, my life was forever changed. This was the day that my brother left for Ft. Sil in Oklahoma. He left for boot camp. I just want to tell everyone that I am so proud of him but I also miss him very much. My brother and I are very close and to not be able to talk to him since he left has been hard. I know that in the end it will all be worth it and it what he wants to do. Even though he is my younger brother, by a little over 3 years, he has always and will always be my hero. I now proudly tell everyone that. I have a new t-shirt that says "My little brother is my hero." It has the army emblem behind it and I wear...»

My only brother is deployed right now to Afghanistan. I look up to everything about him, which makes me miss him so much. The best advice I can think of which most don't mention is to order yourself some waterproof mascara. It has worked wonders for me! I cry all the time. He's the ultimate idol and best friend to everyone. It's his first tour and of course I'm back home worried all the time. I guess the one positive is that I've learned to cherish time with family. A few months back, before this deployment he came home for a few weeks. He surprized us all at home; it was probably the best day of my life. I support everything he does and I love him so much!...»

I was sitting at the computer, I always would pray in my mind he would be safe.. My parents never said he was coming home they were suprising me... Well... Then it happend my brother from acrossed the sea somewhere where'd he'd been for almost a year now walked in. I paused for a sec thinking it was in my head... I got to my feat with my mouth open and repating "It's really you." It's really you." And gave him a hug this was a memory i'd never forget.. He felt stronger then when before he left... I was shocked, amazed, and happy... I'd never pictured in my mind how happy i'd be.. Or how it' d all roll out.. I just thought of how...»
