My son Joshua has dedicated his life and career to the Air Force as a Geospatial Intelligence Analyst. His dedication and skills have led him to be stationed at various Air Force bases both in the United States and internationally. He has gained recognition and promotions on a regular basis during his 11 plus years in the Air Force. He is a hero in my eyes.

Jane Steuby Larsen enlisted in the Navy Women's Reserve (WAVES) and served from 1943-1945. She was stationed in Alameda, Calif. where she worked on airplanes. She was also selected as a model for an armed forces campaign. It was quite an experience for Jane. As her youngest sister, I was jealous that I was too young to join her. We were all happy when she returned to 最新杏吧原创.
