My husband & son are Vets also. Husband is retired Army. He went to Dessert Storm, to S. Korea, to Haiti and to Cuba. While he was in Dessert Storm I was a few months pregnant with our second child, he came home a month after I gave birth (our son). Son spent his active duty time with the Army out of country, now he's in the NG. Son got his Bachelor's Degree before going in the service, got his Master's Degree & his 2nd level in CrossFit (paid by the Army) so he could be the CrossFit trainer at the base. Now he's home, working, in the NG, he's a purple belt (as is my husband) in Jiu Jitsu and went back to school to further his education using his GI bill. Both are humble men, I'm the one who brags about their accomplishments ;) I'm just a stay at home mom (of 3 who are all grown now) and wife. I held down the fort while hubby was out doing his job.
And you did a great job holding that fort! Your sons accomplishments are yours. God says that the job of a parent is to launch his offspring as far as they can. Good job! Happy to have you guys on our side.
Thank you for your service Burto!
