She did it! My sister completed Navy boot camp. My mom, Kelly and I are Chicago to support my sister. She just completed one of the toughest things anyone will ever go through....Military training and service. Melissa has spent nine weeks showing her "Honor, Courage and Commitment."
Watching her graduation ceremony this morning gave me goose bumps and made me proud to be her brother! I'll admit to getting a few tears when I watched her hug my mother.
After nine weeks of spending 24/7 training, she finally received a little "liberty" this afternoon. She got to get off the base for a few hours.
I'll add some video from the program later this week. For now, please enjoy todays pictures.
