Hail and Farewell

Tonight was the Black Falcon Hail and Farewell at a very yummy italian restaurant. It was a bittersweet night for us as we were being farewelled. After 4 years with this battalion it was time to say goodbye. There were 5 soldiers being farewelled, 2 of which are great friends of ours (as well as their spouses). Kyle is the longest serving officer in this battalion which is unheard of.


I am so proud of all that he has accomplished while part of the Black Falcons. He has done many amazing things including becoming a jumpmaster, earning foreign jump wings (cambodian and canadian), deploying to Iraq and Haiti, Bronze Star medal recipient and earning his Senior Parachutist badge(30 jumps). I don't want people to think that I am bragging, I am just so incredibly proud of him for the soldier  and man that he is!


It was a great night getting together with everyone enjoying good food and even better company. I will leave you all with this picture:





I hope everyone is having a great night!!!

  2. Leaving somewhere you've called home is always bittersweet, but just think of everything you guys have to look forward to!

    And as far as bragging - why shouldn't you?! You're proud of your husband and all he's accomplished (plus this is YOUR blog), so brag away!
