"Drive it like it's stolen!"
That's the motto of unit 116 Secfor(security force). Today was a very sad day as we said goodbye to my brother Chris or should I say Pvt. Sehy. He left for Fort Shelby in Mississippi this morning where he will spend the next 7 weeks and then he will be headed to Mosul, Iraq. Our tears were dried temporarily by laughter as we watched Chris walking around with his unit's flag. That's his job, flag holder and we could always spot him everywhere he went by the bright red flag. It also got him tons of attention by reporters because they all wanted a shot of the 116th flag. He got two television interviews as well so we will tune into tonight's news for sure! Another funny thing was when Gov. Huntsman hugged my mom, she didn't even know who he was at first! It was hilarious. Even though we are scared and sad to say goodbye we are so proud of Chris and all the soldiers in his unit. They are very special because they each left there own original units to volunteer and join the new 116th secfor, leaving for Iraq when they didn't have to. We can't wait to see them all come home safely in 12 months! We love you Chris!
