To attend the "Pinning On" Ceremony at Eglin AFB - of our Son, Cortney Howard; to the Rank of Master Sargent USAF early this morning. Mom Kelly and Wife Jodi got to do the honors of temporarily pinning on the Stripes, traditionally accompanied by a fist punch to the shoulder patches. We walked across the stage as Guests. It was a Honor. Great job Cortney.

Back Home now.
