"If you live a life like the rest of the military brats out there, where is home? 
Home is where your family is, home is where your friends are, home is where your heart is. 
It can be in one place for most people but for us brats, it is in many places. 
It is where we left our friends, it is where we left our grandparents, aunts, uncles, counsins."
