​​During this Memorial Day Weekend as you gather with family and friends please take a moment out of your celebration and remember what Memorial Day is all about.   

"Please help us spread awareness and remind the public to remember this Memorial Day. For that we salute you, all the way from Afghanistan. Thank you." -Andrew and Justin

​This Ain’t Goodbye
Take a moment this Memorial Day
To remember those who fought for our freedom
And to celebrate the lives they lived
Take a moment this Memorial Day
To remember those who never came home
So that we could
This Memorial Day take a moment
But never forget…
I’m Gonna Miss You

The song “I’m Gonna Miss You” was originally written in 2013 right before I left to go to Infantry Officer Basic Training in Fort Benning, GA. I originally wrote it to my family as a gift and to say goodbye. I was scared at the time, not knowing what the future held, and knowing that joining the Infantry meant there was a chance I could would be deployed, and moreover that I could die. On the first day Justin and I met, I played “I’m Gonna Miss You” as we were exchanging our originals. He liked it, and he never forgot about the song.
 
I never thought that I would be releasing “I’m Gonna Miss You” as a tribute to Memorial Day, until after our first deployment. The song took on a whole new meaning after we lost some of our soldiers in 2014. I can remember the wave of fear and the eerie silence that filled the air after all was said and done. I know Justin felt it too. He says that his entire company was different after. Not more than six hours earlier they were sitting right there in that chair laughing.

Did you know that there are actually two Mother’s Days in the United States? The first one is celebrated in May – the standard Mother’s Day we all celebrate. But the second Mother’s Day is one many Americans are not aware of. It’s called Gold Star Mother’s Day and it is observed on the last Sunday of September each year. Gold Star Mother’s Day is a day for people to recognize and honor those who have lost a son or daughter while serving the United States Armed Forces. 

The holiday is celebrated by American Gold Star Mothers, a Veterans service organization of mothers who have lost a son or daughter in the service of our country.  

Sept 11th is a Day I will never forget.....  The events of this day and what I witnessed changed me forever as well as I am sure it did you.   It reminds me of how precious life is, the importance of family and friends...  Because you never know when it will be the last time you will ever be able to see them again.  I will remember where I was...what I was doing and will never forget. 

My heart goes out to all of those who lost their lives and their families.    
Today we pray for the Families and Remember the Victims..
Remember the 2977 Lives Lost on Sept 11, 2001
