It's fall television premiere time! This is my favorite time of year. I love watching all the new series and finding new shows to watch. Last night The Brave premiered on NBC.  I had not heard of The Brave before looking at Monday nights lineup so I wasn't sure what to expect. But when I read the little blurb about the show I knew I wanted to watch. I come from a military family. My grandfather, uncles, stepdad, cousins, and brother in law have all served our country in some shape or form. ...
