Ecclesiastes 7:14 When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future.

This image is dedicated to my brother, Aubrey. He is in the Army and spent some time in Iraq in 2003. He was seriously injured, and has been in Germany since then. He expected to get out of the Army in a couple of months and come home. He found out this last week that he is going back to Baghdad instead. God only knows why good and bad things happen. All I can say is serve proudly and do your best for God and Country. This flag was flown on the US Capitol and is one of my most prized possessions. It is yours when you return, Aubrey. You have done far more than I to deserve it, and I'd be honored if you would have it.

This assignment is not what you expected or wanted, but make the best of it. Know that we love you and that our prayers will be with you.

...your big brother
