Happy Thanksgiving week!!!
Deployed, Downrange, Forward, In-theater, in the sandbox, etc
There are several words/phrases that are often used by the military community to describe when a Soldier is away from home and is situated in a hostile nation for military purposes.
For some, Thanksgiving will be a far cry from traditional: please remember those in our military who will spend this Thanksgiving away from family, familiarity and comfort.
This morning, the husband & I are traveling to Fort Bliss, Texas to welcome home the Soldiers of one of the Companies in our Battalion. They've endured a really ROUGH 9-month deployment and now they are coming home. And THAT, dear friends, is plenty of reason celebrate and to give hearty THANKS.
Some folks have asked me my thoughts on my experience in The Choir.
Some of you may know, I 'spose some may not, that I was selected to participate in the reality/inspirational documentary show called "The Choir." Participation in the Show opened my eyes to a whole new world of ideas, people and experiences. My obligations to the Show culminated in an amazing performance this past Thursday night and the Show will likely air in early 2013 on the USA Network. Although I can't share any gorgeous photos just yet, I do plan to share a few of my "ah ha!" moments...but I am still processing these myself. I need to let this marinate for some time and make sure I'm not violating any part of my contractual agreement with the Show or the Network. So bear with me for a short time, won't you please?
