I am very thankful and proud of my dad. Today he retired after 41 years of military service to our country.
My dad is an example to me of courage, dedication, loyalty, hard work and sacrifice. I admire what he has done and I love and appreciate him for it.
It wasn't always easy, he served in two wars. When I was 10 he had to leave his wife who was recovery from a traumatic brain injury & 6 young kids behind to serve in Desert Storm. In 2003 he was called again to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom. The "Goodbyes" and the many months without him were always very, very hard but the "Welcome Homes" were a BLAST!
I also admire the sacrifice my mom has made on behalf of my dad and his service. I can't imagine what it was like to be separated from her husband especially with her circumstances.
I appreciate the sacrifice that my entire family has made. It was hard for all of us at times.
Thank you dad, for your service. Thank you for showing us what honor, dedication and patriotism look like.
YOU WILL FOREVER BE OUR HERO.
