A break from the house to thank and honor our returning Marine

We feel it very appropriate to take a break for our reporting on the progress on our home to pay a tribute to our nephew and cousin who has spent the past 8 and a half months in Afghanistan performing responsibilities to defend our freedom and our great nation as a Marine. 

Jacob Chesley you make more than your mother proud.  As a family we are extremely grateful for you and your service to us and our nation.

This is Jake's second tour of duty.  The first was in Iraq and this time was in Afghanistan and we are happy to have him home safe and sound.  Several of his unit did not have the opportunity of returning to see their family and loved one.  They paid the ultimate sacrifice in performing their duties.  These we wish all to know that while we did not know them personally we grateful for they service.  We will always reflect on the courage, honor and dignity with which they carried out they responsibilities.  For them any every one of those who have contributed to our freedom we can't not express of deepest gratitude and our sincere thanks.  For you see we know that FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.  We also recognize the not only are we living in a free nation because of the efforts of our military personnel, but many others of this world are also obtaining and establishing freedom in their nations.

To all who serve and especially Jake we as a family say THANK YOU and may GOD BLESS.
