Happy Birthday Captain America


Today is Billy's Birthday and he is really, really and I mean really old. I get to give him a hard time because he's not here to defend himself. See he's all the way over in Afghanistan helping to make life a little better for someone else. I think it's perfect that Billy's Birthday is also Veteran's Day. I am thankful for Billy who serves his country honorably and all the rest of the veterans for keeping our country safe and preserving our freedom!! I get to see first hand some of what our Soldiers give up. Like Birthdays with their families.

Billy thank you for being my Captain America. Thank you for blessing my life and giving me so very very much. I hope that you know that we are thinking of you today and love you. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
