Tomorrow is July 4. It's a time to think about and to be thankful for the amazing freedoms we share as citizens of this great country.
We just want to take a moment and express to our son, Sgt. Christopher Hampton, that we are incredibly proud of him as he serves his country. He joined the military while Debbie and I were on a missions trip to Costa Rica. We were shocked at the timing but not surprised by his decision. When we asked him "why?" - he told us it was all about his family. He wanted to do his part in protecting us from foreign enemies. He served a 12-month tour in a war zone and then he came home safely to us, thank the Lord. Then, last Fall, he "re-upped" for another 6 years. He was married in May, becoming a husband to Cynthia and father to Adam and Brandon. Now he is back in the war, for a 15-month deployment.
Could I ask our friends and family to say a prayer of thanks and also a prayer of protection for him?
Is there a Soldier/Sailor/Airman/Marine in your life? Be sure to express your deep appreciation to him/her today for their sacrifice.
