I am thankful for the soldiers who serve to defend freedom’s cause all around the world. I am thankful for your willingness to leave home, family, and safety behind to put your life on the line for others. I am also thankful for the sacrifice that is made by your families. They endure months and sometimes years of separation from you during tours of duty, they often have to move from town-to-town, plus the added stress of worrying about your safety while you are in harm’s way.

Throughout the years I have seen families recognized in special ways; however, this tribute by a soldier to his wife and kids is one of the most special moments I have been blessed to witness. A special thanks to the University of South Carolina and the 85,000 fans in attendance for recognizing the Faile family!
