Please Indulge....

Today was Zack's last Parade and Review for the Air Force ROTC and his last Awards Ceremony.  It was exciting to see him finally join the Commissionees as part of the Parade!  We are coming to end of our schooling, which I know each of you can relate to.  It is such a bittersweet feeling - school is ending and we will be leaving Provo behind finally although there are so many wonderful memories here.

As a part of the Awards Ceremony today, Zack received several honors....which, if you will indulge me.....I would love to brag about my husband.  He is such a wonderful man who truly LOVES his country and will be a devoted leader in the Air Force.  I cannot say enough about his work ethic and his ability to lead those who are below him.  Today he was honored with "The Commander's Outstanding Senior Award."  He was also designated with "Distinguished Graduate" which will actually follow him from the ROTC to the actual Air Force.  It will be on his records for his entire career with the Air Force (and there are very few awards that do).

In addition, he received the "Major General David Sawyer Memorial Award" for his Integrity, Love of Family and his Devotion to Country.  It was such an honor and we are so grateful to have received it.  There is a picture of it below.  It is beautiful!
