He's kind of a Big Deal
I shared a little bit about Officer's accomplishments not long ago. I'll be honest, often I try not to share somethings about us that are a little more personal, but I'm really so proud of him and you all need to hear about it. This morning Officer was informed that he and two other officers involved with the incident last summer, in addition to receiving the Silver Star and a Life Saving award, were nominated and unanimously chosen by our Attorney General Medal of Honor Commission to be awarded the Medal of Honor. It is the State's highest honor, and it's kind of a big deal. Kind of is an understatement; this really is a BIG deal! In May there will be an award ceremony and we'll tell you all about it. It was wonderful to be able to share this news with his family today; they are so proud of him! It's kind of surreal, and he's been kind of modest about it because he has read about some previous years' recipients. They are all exceptional in their service, and he is no different, whether he'll admit it or not. I am privileged to spend my life with him and I know that this is not the only honor he will be given - he will continue to do exceptional things throughout his life. I love you, Congratulations!

That is wonderful! My kids love bragging about their uncle and how he showed off his car to them. Can't wait to see the finished pictures of the fireplace!
Congrats!! That's awesome!
It is such a big deal! We are excited to come out and see him get it! He does sound like a Eagle Scout though! Silver Star, Life Saving award, medal of Honor...hee, hee~
