Did Any of Your Children Follow Your Footsteps into Military Service? If so, Which Branch Did They Join, What Career Path Did They Take, and What Were Some of Their Most Notable Achievements?:

When I reflect on my family’s journey through military service, I am filled with an overwhelming sense of pride and gratitude. Our story is one of commitment, resilience, and a shared belief in serving something greater than ourselves—the United States Air Force (USAF). My own military chapter began when I enlisted in the Air Force and was assigned to Services—not by choice, but by necessity. Though it wasn’t the career path I envisioned, I embraced the role wholeheartedly during my four-year enlistment. Those years taught me resilience, adaptability, and the value of teamwork. They gave me a deep appreciation for every function that keeps our Air Force mission-ready and instilled in me the core values that would guide my life: integrity, service, and excellence.
