USO Tour

There have been some people that have come to visit while Michael has been deployed. I know he has had a chance to see the President (both!), the actors from 'The Unit,' The Raider Cheerleaders, among others. Steven Colbert was recently over there as well. I had heard something about it, but unless Michael tells me he will be on the news, I don't really pay attention. I did come across this quote though and thought it was nice. Perhaps more people should be sent overseas and then maybe they will understand what military families go through. Just maybe.

"Finally, I want to thank the troops here and around the world. I am rarely at a loss for words but when I think of all you have sacrificed for your country these past six years it really seems insufficient to say thank you and really inappropriate to say holy shit so I'll just say what I hope you can all say soon, "Honey, I'm coming home."
