It Is Official - Dallas Is A Civilian!
After 23 years, 5 months and 21 days in the U.S. Army, Dallas is now a Civilian.
Although he will always be a Soldier, Dallas was retired from the Army effective Aug 31, 2010.
1990 - First Gulf War
2007 - Second Gulf War
In the beginning, before Dallas joined the Army, no one could have convinced me (Jody) that the Army offered a good life for a family. I was wrong.
Over the past 23 years Dallas has been blessed to have met so many wonderful people who remain life long friends. He has "traveled the world" and we have been fortunate to have only moved three times over the past 17 years. (That is very, very unusual.)
The Army takes care of its Soldiers and their families. The health care alone has been unbelievable. For example: To date Tru has had 4 surgeries, over 200 doctor visits and three prosthetic legs. For all of those medical services we have paid $0 out of our pocket. Unbelievable!
And if you are wondering... Yes! After taking three weeks off Dallas is now working in the civilian world. Due to his years of intense training and education he had no problem finding a great job that still allows him to serve and protect our country.
(Top secret!)
I know I speak for Dallas' parents as well as mine when I say, "We are so proud of you!"
