I'd like to nominate My Yellow Ribbon, http://my-yellow-ribbon.blogspot.com/, to the U.S. Military Parent Blog nominations. You can read about the author at http://my-yellow-ribbon.blogspot.com/p/about-auth… the mother of an Iowa National Guardsman. Thank you.
I wholeheartedly support and agree with the nomination of this blog. The author has gone above and beyond the call of duty in her diligence and passion for this cause. I have left several comments on her blog over the last couple years and I don't feel anything I can say now can possibly be more appropriate than two of my previous comments which I shall copy here:
2011-07-20T23:01:25.192-05:00 "Thank you, Ms. Davin, for letting us into your life for all these months. And for sharing the highs and the lows with us in such heartfelt and expressive ways. You have brought your thoughts, wishes and hopes to us in a caring and compassionate manner. You have a very engaging writing style that brings the reader up close and personal. Your various awards and recognitions were certainly well deserved and best wishes in further endeavors if you choose to pursue them. Thank you for putting faces, names and emotions to the service these men and women are engaged in. And best wishes to your soldier as he begins the next step in his future, whatever it may be. And to you, as well, in your continued support of those who still serve and for the recognition given to those whom have paid the ultimate price for our country. American heroes have no better advocate and friend than you, Ms. Davin. I am sure all your readers join me in saluting your service to such a great cause. Thank you."
2011-04-15T15:07:37.104-05:00 "Where do we get such men as these? We get them from women such as Nancy Davin."
I fully support My Yellow Ribbon's nomination in this category. It is one of the most truthful and passionate blogs I've read. The blogger is committed to delivering an informative and relevant blog regarding numerous facets related to military.
