Memorial Day weekend will now be another remembrance for our family...my husband's retirement from the Army. His retirement ceremony was Thursday. His parents and our son were able to be here which made it even more special. It was a beautiful ceremony, a happy, yet bittersweet day.
Eight soldiers and one civilian had their ceremonies together. Here is a picture of my husband, stepped up from the line, as his biography and list of accomplishments were read.

Our little family.
Thank you, Tony, for your years of dedicated service to our country!

ReplyDeleteP.S. You looked beautiful!
Thank you to Tony, and to you.....military spouses are in it too! How nice to have his parents and son at the ceremony! And you looked wonderful, new dress and all!
ReplyDeleteGive Tony a big hug from me. My son and daughter in law were/are in the Navy and I know what a big commitment it is. They sacrifice much more than people realize! Thank you!
