Proud parents Patrick and Julie McGrath wish to send out a salute to their daughter, Heather & son, Shawn, serving in the US Army. Both serve in the Military Police Corps, but are stationed in different units in Iraq. They had a rare opportunity to meet recently, after not seeing each other for over 2 years and here is a picture of them both. Shawn is actually the "little brother" of this duo. He is married and has 2 sons and a daughter. Heather is currently on her way home now, after completing her second tour in Iraq where she just received the Bronze Star Medal. Mom & Dad love them so much and are so proud of the both of them! While so happy to be seeing Heather very soon, they can't wait until Shawn comes home and the whole family can be together again!
