When not at work you see the goofy funny side of the men in the forces, you don't really ever get to see them being a serious marine. Seeing Brennan getting ready to leave, showed me just how seriously he takes his work.
Watching him deploy brought on so many different feelings;
The obvious one, sadness - how could you not be sad to see one of your friends leaving to go to war
Second scared - they are obviously smart about how they handle things and they have their brothers watching their back, but how can you not be scared when someone you care for like a brother is being deployed?
Last but not least, PROUD - I never saw him being the mature man which he is.....seeing him like that made me so proud knowing that he was going away to defend every single one of us.
I have always supported our troops and have always been thankful for them - I think it comes from having grown up around bases my entire life. BUT today, I have gained a whole new appreciation and respect for our troops. To all of you our troops out there.....
THANK YOU
To Brennan - I am really going to miss you, and can't wait for you to come back
