this is well said.............
steve has thankfully never seen battle but this poem is still well said.
The Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced his God,Which must always come to pass;He hoped his shoes were shining bright,Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, soldier,How shall I deal with you?Have you turned the other cheek?To my church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,"No, Lord, I guess I ain't;Because those of us who carry guns,Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,And at times my talk was rough;I've had to break your rules my Lord,Because the world is awfully tough.
But, I never took a thingThat wasn't mine to keep;Though I worked a lot of overtime,When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,Though at times I shook with fear;And sometimes ... God forgive me,I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a placeAmong the people here;They never wanted me around,Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,It needn't be so grand;I never expected or had too much,But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,Where the saints often trod;As the soldier waited quietly,For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, soldier,You've borne your burdens well;Come walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,You've done your time in HELL!"~ Author Unknown ~

Memorial Day
I just want you to know Steve how grateful I am to you. I am honored and humbled to be your wife. I am truly grateful to the husband and wives who are in the journey with us. My heart and prayers are with the people who grasp the full concept of this day. I am proud to be the wife of the soldier and proud to be an American.

Steves new address..........
Hi honey,
Just to let you know that we have a new address for mail. It is as follows:
SSgt Steven Brinkerhoff
732 ESFS/Det2 USAF
1-120 CAB, 30 HBCT
FOB Mahmudiyah
APO AE 09322
We just got switched units thanks to the pull out the one we were under is pulling out, so now we are under another. The new address goes into effect Immediately. I was told that if you do put the old address on the letters it will still make it to me, but it will most likely take an extra month. Any way just a little heads up. Also just to let you know I just got Daniels card in the mail, and also a letter from Mom and Dad Flake. If you could let them know that would be awesome. I have to go hopefully I will have internet tonight so I can Skype you. Talk to you later.
Bye,
Love Steven (Daddy)
