Ben had the amazing opportunity to visit the Japanese island of Iwo Jima and hike up Mt. Sarabachi, the site of the ever famous Marine Flag Raising. It was an emotional and historically intriguing visit for him. Iwo Jima is considered sacred ground to the USMC.
Matthew got to do that to on his 1st deployment. He said it was a very memorable experience. He even Stole some sand from IwoJima and brought it home! It is so cool looking. Looks like Ben had a great time
The challenges in life, in general and motherhood, specifically can be compared to alligator wrestling. The feat is arduous and sometimes painful. I always wish for, at least one other hand. When, or if, I survive the ordeal, it will have been well won and my greatest achievement. I will most assuredly come out of the pit muddy, bruised, exhausted and above all beaming with pride at my successes. It will all be well worth the fight!!
