Brave!

When you saw the title of this Blog Post, did you think it would be about the new Disney movie "Brave"? I haven't seen this movie and, while the spunky red headed heroine in the movie looks just darling, this blog post is about another type of hero.

**Caution - today's blog post is not a lighthearted blog posting.**

I have never met more heroes that I have in the past 7 months. Fact.


Heroes are born...and they are also made. Fact. 


Each hero has a unique story to tell. Fact.

I'm not here to tell those stories (it's really not my place) - and there are so, so many - but I do want to share with you one hero's story that his family has chosen to share somewhat publicly. This young Soldier was injured not quite 90 days ago. It is miraculous that he even survived...and our Commander who was there when he was taken off the battlefield can attest to this...and this Soldier's valiant fight and determination in recovery makes him just plain BRAVE in my opinion.

If you'd like to learn more about SSG Walker and, perhaps, even support him in his recovery...then please visit his family's website: http://ssgchristopherwalker.wordpress.com/

There are few things in life that I can guarantee...but I can guarantee that you will be changed if you see and hear his story. 
 


Grace & Peace.
