Glen and his Uncle Bud:  Deployment of the Troops Ceremonies, 2004

Funny, light-hearted and totally lovable, Steve is an amazing person.  Not long after this photo was taken, my twin brother lost a kidney to cancer (the bitch!)

Still, you'd never know it.

He's the sort of person who, after only a few minutes of conversation, you can't help but like the man and then, amazingly, come away feeling a little lighter in spirit.

Trust me, I know.  Steve is a constant inspiration to the troops he's trained, the men and women who serve alongside him and, most especially, their families, who sacrifice a little piece of their hearts, every day.

Not ONLY because it is his job, it's how he rolls.

With love and appreciation to all who served:  most especially, thank you, Uncle Bud!
