Generations of Military Service - Sharing Our Family Story // Happy Veteran's Day
#family #usmilitary
Generations of military service.The greatest generation. We have all heard the phrase. But what made it the greatest generation? Growing up listening to my grandfather's stories... when he told me 'You can be anything you want when you grow up' he meant it. Not just because he hoped it would be true or he would work hard to help me achieve my dreams. But because standing before me was a man who started at the very bottom of society in 1930 and really did grow up to be everything he hopped and dreamed. Nothing stood in my grandfather's way. He was a force all unto himself. My grandfather lied about his age, enlisted into the Navy at 15, never attended high school, served at the end of World War 2, was accepted into the officer candidate program, graduated from Washington State in Engineering, and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 30 years of service. Bought his own land in northern California. Started a farm and raised two sons who grew up to be successful. This is my family heritage. And it's a story many of us can relate to, listening to our elders who recall life from that 'greatest generation'. And I don't know about you but all I can do is try to live up to that heritage.
Happy Veterans Day! This is the story of our family's military service.
🪖 If you are new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed on the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
