A humbling experience

Veteran’s Day takes on a very personal meaning for me. As a spouse to a Sergeant First Class in the United States Army, I spent several years getting a very intimate look into the military. Getting to see behind the curtain was incredibly humbling. I was fortunate enough to be able to assist my husband many times with his duties as a recruiter. Being able to help do school visits, table days, and attend after-school functions were always a highlight. My favorite memories came during our time stationed in Ohio, where my husband and I helped implement a workout program for the future soldiers and help prepare them for boot camp. During our time there, every soldier who shipped out passed their entrance PT test with flying colors. I am proud to have helped my husband and the Army. I am grateful to all the men and women who have served for our freedom, and to those who serve us still.
