My Story In Photos: The Patriotic Edition”

Being a military family, patriotic isn't something that I tend to think about just a couple of days a year.

I am very proud of my husband, dad, brother, grandfather, uncles and many friends.

So when I sat down to do this post for the I Heart Faces weekly theme, I had a hard time thinking of what all I wanted to put on here.

I finally decided to just go with what struck me as I was putting it together over a couple of weeks.

Our wedding, Jerry and his groomsmen in dress blues:

It also means to me, the freedom to vote (even if in a mock election at school).

And by having the faith in our country to vote, we have the faith in the system, that the true results will come out.
