Thanks for answering my question. You are so right, it is a complex question. Yet your answer clarified it rather elequently.
In some way, you will always be a part of the ones you protected, saved, treated, and cared for. I’m sure that they appreciated all that you did.

I stand in awe of the many men and women who can switch from being home one day to being in a war zone the next. I only wish that you can continue to stay at home with your family for much much longer.

Thank you for being so willing to return to your duty when you must.

Now get back to the important stuff, holding your wife and watching your daughter.

God Bless you all.
