Happy Mother's Day

I would like to wish all of the mom's out there a very special "happy mother's day!"

I have had a chance know to meet some Army moms, and they have my respect. However, I can say that about most of the mothers that I know.

It seems like being a mom just gets tougher and tougher as the years go by. In fact, the Army has begun to offer programs to help strengthen families. They realize that there are a lot of soldiers struggling with the decision to stay with the Army or not, and in many instances a deciding factor is the strength of their family.

I have met families that work well with the stresses of military life, and I have seen others that have really struggled. The Army's "Strong Bonds" program is designed to help families be and become stronger and healthier.

Mom's play a significant role in the strength of our families. So I want to say again, thanks mom for all of your love, help, support, sacrifice, and strength. And that goes for all moms.

I have included some pics from the area. We've had a fair amount of rain and everything is greening up very nice.
