Portraits

intro: eliel+sara+little alexander

Eliel on FB: “Well friends, I’m off to Afghanistan tomorrow in support of Operation Enduring Freedom!!  Please keep me and the 600 Marines that I am charged with keeping healthy in your prayers and of course my wife Sara who is staying home alone and is due with our first born in June as well. Have a wonderful rest of the year friends, enjoy everyday and all of the freedoms that this country provides us! God Bless America.”

Sara on FB: “You are the most amazing husband a gal could ever wish for…Everyday I admire your values in God, family and your country! What you will be doing in Afghanistan is simply awe-inspiring. I love you so much sweetheart! Have safe travels…can’t wait to Skype!”

He left yesterday.  When he comes home little Alexander will be 5 months old.  I’m in awe of Sara and brave military wives everywhere.
