Today is as special day of me and my husband. Today we watched our two daughters graduate from the US Army Airborne School. For us it has a special meaning for our family. You see when I first came to the US I joined our military to help gain my citizenship. While I served I won those same wings, so you can see why this was so special to me. For my husband who is from the UK and had served in their military as a British Paratroop it was doubly so. You see his father and his grandfather were also British Paratroopers going all the way back to WW2. This morning as we were pinning our daughters wings to their uniforms I realized that they were the fourth generation for our family to earn those tiny pieces of silver that so many have worn over the years. I normally do not do double postings, but today I could not get their story out of my head. So instead of fighting I sat down in our hotel room and typed it out then posted A Daughter Gets Her Wings. I hope you all enjoy it, but I’ll be honest and tell you now that short is there for my children to show them how proud I am of them both.
