Casey, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I’m SOOOOO very proud of you. Talk about dreams coming true…..you have wanted to fly for how long??? You are a special young man. Ditto to what Ronni said about your Dad & PawPaw….I know they are proud & watching & protecting you. Your Dad probably is having a terrible time getting through any doors up there in Heaven, if there are doors, lol.
Kelley, you have a truly terrific hubby. I know it’s not always been easy being away from home. Support that man of yours completely, he’s going to go so far in life. You & Miss Kali own his heart.
Keep up the good work, Casey, and many THANKS for your service. Best of luck in flight school & God Bless.
