Kristin, I am so sorry for the passing of your father. I offer you a prayer of strength, fond memories, and love for all things concerning your father. Even though I did not know him, I am sure that he was very proud of his Air National Guard daughter, whose military career reflected the professionalism and patriotism values of the family .
