This is my “little” brother, Taylor.\u00a0 He’s a foot taller and double my weight, but he’s still my little brother.
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

“Uncle Taylor” is our HERO! <\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Taylor and Preston)<\/p>\n

Taylor is in the Air Force and just returned home from his third tour in the Middle East.\u00a0 He works hard every day to keep you, me, my babies, and our future safe!\u00a0 He is smart, devoted, loyal, and I’m thankful he is serving our great nation!\u00a0 I’m proud to call him my brother!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Taylor and Lilly Katherine)<\/p>\n

To all the men and women who have selflessly given up time with their friends and family to serve our country, who have devoted their lives, their time, their passions to protecting us, THANK YOU!\u00a0 You are not thanked enough.\u00a0 You are not appreciate enough for what you do!\u00a0 From the bottom of my heart, I THANK YOU!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My brother works hard!\u00a0 His wife, Kelly, works hard, too.\u00a0 I have seen what Kelly goes through when he’s away.\u00a0 I can’t imagine what it’s like for those left here “holding the fort down at home” for months at a time.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Taylor, Kelly, and their nieces\/nephews…Lilly Katherine, AnnaLeigh, Caleb, Truett, Preston)<\/p>\n

If you know someone in the military.\u00a0 Thank them!\u00a0 If you’re at the mall\u00a0 and you see a stranger dressed in uniform, go out of your way to say “Thank you!”\u00a0 Since my brother has been in the service, I have found that just seeing people in uniform can bring tears to my eyes\u00a0 (My eyes do moisten easily).\u00a0 I try to make a point to thank them.\u00a0 It’s the least I can do, when I think about what they’re doing for me.\u00a0 I get emotional just thinking about it.\u00a0 I know, I’m a pansy.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Taylor, Truett, AnnaLeigh)<\/p>\n

So, I want to say THANK YOU to my sweet little brother.\u00a0 I love you, I respect you, and I look up to you (both literally and figuratively)! :)
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>(Siblings…Ashley, Taylor, Me)<\/p>\n

Thank you for your dedication to our country!\u00a0 Thank you for being the bestest brother in the whole wide world!\u00a0 Thank you for loving my babies!\u00a0 Thank you for being our HERO!\u00a0 I love you!!!\u00a0 (Love, your favorite sister) :)
