In February 2010, David flew his last flight in the F-16. It was a very bittersweet day for him, and for us. He has been dreading the day, that all his hard work to become a fighter pilot has probably come to an end. I've never been more proud of my husband for the sacrifices he made for our family during his career. Most people don't know the sacrifice he made to care for me and our children during my back problems. Those back problems started way back in Columbus, MS, and continued through our time in Korea. David's priority was with his family, and I have more respect than ever for him. He is a humble, selfless, caring, and kind soul. His sacrifices probably won't ever be known to his fellow pilots, commanders, or friends, but I want to express my gratitude through my blog. He didn't have to put us first, he could have let his career engulf him and let our families care for me and the kids, but he didn't. He would never let that happen! He is a God loving and fearing man, and will always put God first, family, and then career.
I'm so proud of my husband and all that he has accomplished, but I'm more proud of the man and father he has become. I love him with all my heart and will forever be grateful for his sacrifices. God sent a special angel to me, and I get the honor of calling him my husband!
God bless you David!!
