Pop's retirement


We were able to go out for my dad's retirement party at the beginning of September. He had been in the USAF Reserves for 34 years. He unwillingly retired. He loved the Air Force and loved serving his country. He had been deployed a few times, recently he had gone to Iraq and Afghanistan. He was kind enough to give each of his kids a framed flag that he had flown over there. Its amazing how much he loves his country. I'm not sure what he will do with out it. He has many building projects that have been put on hold due to his career so maybe he will get them done now. It was great to be apart of his ceremony. It was held on the C-130 which he was a load master on for all 34 years.

He received some really nice gifts the one below was showing all of his achievements since he has been in th Air Force

The night before we left to go home we were able to have a fox come up on the deck and Jason fed it some lunch meat out of his hand.
