THREAD - A few Mother's Day words about @Sodangfancy100

Kristin became a mom while on active duty in the United States Army. She continued serving our country while caring for her sweet little girl. She spent a year in Iraq, doing her duty as a good soldier. 1/

After leaving the army she continued to raise her daughter who was then joined by a son and another daughter. Her husband, also a U.S. soldier, was deployed to war zones across the globe again and again.

Kristin spent years as a devoted mother and supportive wife. 2/

Wanting to be able to provide more for her children she finished a 4 year degree in 2. She moved her family as her husband was reassigned to new posts and while he served over seas. 3/

The raised three children mostly on her own, guiding them through school while also serving as a non-com's wife and taking on the unofficial but necessary duties that come with the position. 4/

Today her children are strong, healthy and thriving. All three are in AP classes and their names grace honor rolls. Her oldest is graduating a year early from high school. 5/

Kristin will be the first to tell you that it wasn't easy and it wasn't perfect.

Let me be the first to tell you those smart, thoughtful, successful children are who they are because of her, her sacrifices, her drive and everything she's done for them. 6/FIN
