Those are proud moments indeed. I polished up two silver dollars for our daughter's commissioning. And we treasure the photos taken immediately after her commissioning when her older brother and cousin, sergeants, dressed in their 101st ABN and 82nd ABN finest, rendered her first salutes. And, of course, when she handed over the coins to them.

I don't think I've ever seen her brother so proud -- and I know her Mom and ex-USAF dad have never been prouder!

Outstanding, TX! One of my uncles was with both the 82nd and 101st at various times. We're very proud of him.
