Gratitude day 5 part 2

I just realized that today is the 26th anniversary of when I returned home from my first Persian Gulf deployment. As I reflect on the time that I spent over there, and the people that came into my life( some are still in my life). I have an incredible amount of gratitude for the people that allowed me into their lives and the experiences that I have been through, not just that time period, but the entire journey. This has been one hell of a ride!
