Happy Veterans Day!

I salute the people who let our freedom ring. As most of you know I’m an army wife. That’s all I’ve known my entire marriage. My husband, Ryan Stream joined at a very young age, by the age of 17, he and his parents signed, since he was still under age. Ryan loves to serve this country and others. The military has taught him discipline, work ethic skills, and knowing how blessed he is to live in the U.S. I believe that most of us take life for granted at times. In reality we don’t know how hard other countries have it.

Ryan, has deployed to Afganistán twice both times were for a year. His first deployment was with the 118th Sapper Co. The second time was with the 624th Engineer Co. I cannot thank these service men and women enough for the sacrifice leaving their family and risking their lives. Some of these men don’t make it home. I can’t stress enough on how hard it is for the spouses and family of these brave men and women. We suffer at home knowing our soldier is in a war zone.

Ryan missed the birth of our first born child, Nixeon Dru Stream. We Skyped the birth and while delivering this beautiful girl, all we could hear is bombs going off and shooting. What scary and stressful moments it was for all of us at home, specially as I’m delivering. I’m honored to be Ryan’s wife. I have been able to learn much and see much, because of him.

Please take your time to thank these brave men and women today. Without them we wouldn’t be enjoying our freedom. Thanks for the support everyone!
