A special moment for Mrs. Wilkins (school secretary) was the day that Jasmine Corbitt came to the school with her mom (Christina), brother, and a man carrying Jasmine. I knew who this man was but I asked Jasmine who he was and with so much love and pride in her voice and eyes, she replied "My Dad" as she put her arms around his neck! Tears filled my eyes because I knew that her dad had been in Iraq and was home on leave. They were able to enjoy a short vacation as a family in Cincinnati before he has to return to Iraq until December. Several people in the office shook his hand and thanked him for his service to our country. Before he left, I asked if I could give him a hug. With the hug, I too thanked him and asked God to bless him. Thank you, Brian Corbitt for that touching moment and the realization of how much we owe the men and women who fight for our freedom. Godspeed!
LES thinking of "our" Brian and all his brave comrades
