Giving thanks daily for our men and women serving in the US Armed Forces - Army, Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force and Marines.
Especially to our nephews:
US Army Chris Baker
and
US Coast Guard Jake Smith!
Staff Sargeant E-6 Christopher Baker
Chris is the son of Linda Baker-Skaggs (Laurie's oldest sister), and is originally from Illinois. Chris is the husband of Tonya. They have four kids.
He has had one tour of duty in Afghanistan and will be there again.
Thank you for your honorable, courageous, and dedicated service to our country. Without you and those serving also, we would not be living in the freedom we do.
Jacob Robert Smith
Bob and I want to honour our son, Jake R. Smith this Memorial Day for his service to this blessed country we live in. Jake has served for over 10 years, first for 5 years full time during the time of the Iraq war, and now in the reserves. Jake is a wonderful soldier, son, husband to Morgan Jennifer Smith and father of two beautiful boys. We love him very much and so very proud of him!
Mary Smith
Thank you both for your honorable, courageous, and dedicated service to our country. Without you and those serving also, we would not be living in the freedom we do.
With our love,
Uncle Steve and Aunt Laurie
