Change of Command Ceremony

Yesterday I was able to attend the squadron’s Change of Command ceremony. For those who aren’t coming from a military background, that’s when the existing Commanding Officer is exiting and the Executive Officer becomes the new Commanding Officer. The ceremony is wonderful and full of tradition. This is only the second one I’ve been able to attend because in the past I didn’t have a babysitter etc. These ceremonies are the times when you are able to remember that your family is part of something great. Just as in any home, the husband going to work becomes routine, so it’s easy to forget that we belong to an organization so full of tradition.

On another note, Kateri headed back to school this morning. The break is officially over. It was so nice to have everyone here for the Holidays! Christmas was peaceful and New Year’s was beautiful. Seriously, it was a beautiful, sunny, So. Cal. day.
Now we focus on getting everything in order for Clay to deploy in March. ~sigh~
Have a great day~

I just got home from work and logged on to check out the day, and I have to say, this truly was a nice blog to log on to. It is very easy to forget that so many men and woman do so much for each of us on a daily basis, most of which we’ll never know about, and that my own Brother is a part of that ongoing sacrifice. It just made all my own crap very small. I need to remember to be thankful each day for what they do! God only knows what this world may be like with out them. Thank you Jen for the reminder, and please tell Clay I sincerely said Thank You.
Love you,
Peggie
