Take care, Aaron


The girls say goodbye to Daddy as he ships off to Afghanistan for a 12 month tour of duty. Sarah and Aaron have three girls and this photo is very emotional. I wish you all the best of luck and I'm sending good energy to you all. Aaron we are all so proud of you and what you do.

Hang in there! My husband is in Iraq and will also be gone for a year. Deployments are not easy on families but the reunions sure are sweet. ;)

I will keep them all in my thoughts. They are all stronger than I could ever be, I just don't know how military families do it. My heart goes out to all of them.

Like Kiki,this brought me tears.
I will be praying for Aaron's safe
return and (((hugs))) to the girls back home awaiting his return.
What courage you have, as does
Aaron.

Bless you all for the sacrifice that the entire family has made - it is acknowledged and more than appreciated. Those sound like such shallow words reading them back. The aren't truly, I just can't articulate it well - that picture brought tears to me eyes.

Peace and good all of you!!

Be safe out there, Aaron!! It always breaks my heart when I see the kids that are affected by their daddy's having to leave.

You are very strong, Sarah!

My son doesn't have any children yet, but I know from my daughter in law how hard deployment is in her.

You'll be in my thoughts for sure!!

The look in daddy's eyes as he tries to take in his little girls into his memory to carry with him. Safe return home, Aaron, and we'd all like to see a picture of you reuniting with the girls on your return.
