I have been a member of TogetherWeServed for quite some time and would regularly receive emails telling me I needed to complete the Reflections of My Service. Still, I would always keep putting it off because I was just too busy. But for some reason, this past Veterans Day made me realize that it was too important for me to wait any longer if I was going to leave a legacy for my grandkids about my military service, now was the time. I just recently turned 70 years old (I went skydiving to celebrate this milestone), and my memory is not getting any better; it's not great now, so while I am able, I wanted to write down in my own words just what serving in the Air Force had meant to me. Why I joined, the experiences, the people I met, and the things I accomplished are part of who I am and will always be an important part of my life. I am very grateful that TogetherWeServed has given me and other Veterans a platform to do just that so that, hopefully, we can pass on to the next generation the importance of having a strong military to defend our nation. God Bless the USA!
