Thank You Veterans

My dad is a veteran combat medic who served in Bosnia and two tours in Iraq. While in Iraq, he received the Bronze Star for actions and training that saved lives. He has since suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which has seriously impacted his life, and my mom's. We're proud of him for his sacrifice.

In honor of that and in honor of Veteran's Day, I wanted to post this picture of my dad meeting his grandson for the first time ever. He was undergoing a treatment for PTSD at the time Emmett was born and wasn't able to meet him until a couple of weeks later. We surprised him by taking Emmett to the airport to pick him up when he came home.


Thank you Veterans!
