A while back, my mom and step-dad made a trip to New York City and found a beautiful framed print of the American flag with the title "Our American Hero" and a cut-out to add a picture. I fell in love with it, but knew it would be hard convincing Jamie to put on his dress blues for a picture. When I asked, he said, "What's wrong with the picture in there, that guy's a good looking dude!"
So, fast-forward to today. Jamie had an inspection for his service dress and I wasn't about to let him leave the house without a picture!! He is the most humble of anyone I know, but I am also the proudest wife and loudest supporter of him. Take a look at his shirt, he's up to 19 ribbons! I asked if anyone else had as many as him and he said only some of the Master Sergeants who are the next rank and about 6 years ahead of him.
