Home is Where The Heart Is!

Jason is married to his high-school sweetheart, Diana, and they share three children.

Any Military Family knows how hard it can be when a loved one is deployed. Thinking of each other every single day while being apart for so long and the (What If's) running through your brain for countless hours. Coming home is the only thing any service member can look forward to. That very thought alone is the drive that keeps these Soldiers going on a Daily basis. Imagine being in  a Firefight with images of loved ones back at Home going through their mind. The next time you hear the saying (Home is Where the Heart Is), I would like you to take two seconds and think about who we owe our (Thanks) to, and having the opportunity to live the kind of lives that we get to and be thankful.
