I just want to say thank you.  Thank you for the sacrifices you make for me and my country.  Thank you for having a husband who serves and for going through your first pregnancy and the delivery of your first baby with out him.  Thank you for being there for me and for keeping my country safe by serving every day far away while you miss out on things that you wish you were home for.  Thank you for enduring a long separation because you are doing your duty and giving your all.  This little girl is a symbol of unity.  She unites her mother and father separated by countries, oceans and love of country.  She is a symbol of hope, for a family to be reunited, for peace and joy.  She is an American!  And her father is out there doing his best to keep her safe.  And her mother while waiting for the return of her father is keeping the most precious thing safe while he is away.  I am so thankful for all of the service men and women who fight and work and sacrifice for me, my family and my country!
