Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it autograph your work with excellence. ~Unknown

My last blog was all about thanking our vets… we’ll I’m not the only one that remembers to say thank you.  This last weekend was duty (she said doooty!) weekend – My husband is in the Air National Guard,  but he also works on base full time – our base is a training base and 99% of everyone is a civilian but they are also all guardsmen (and women) – they wear uniform everyday.  Anyhow… they have a big base wide meeting every duty (there she goes again) weekend and this time Matt was called up on stage and presented a Commander’s coin.  It’s a big deal.  Imagine in front of 5,000 of your co-workers the president of your company calls you (and 4 others) up to present you with an “award” for going up and beyond your normal… job (you thought she was going to say Doooty again, didn’t you?) That’s what it was like for Matt.

 

This is Matt’s second coin – his first is a coin specific to his field of training.  The first coin is safely tucked away in his wallet and is probably one of his most valued possessions.  The funny thing about having a large coin tucked in your wallet is that pretty soon your wallet caresses that coin and forms to it… and now his wallet looks like he has a condom in there… from the 90’s.  It gives me a laugh every time I see his wallet sitting on the nightstand.

 

I am so proud of you, Sergeant Probst… next time ask for a raise. ;)
