The day has arrived and John is officially LTC Gilbert. Woohoo!!!!! We joined him in San Antonio for the pin on ceremony. It was a great day. We had a small ceremony at the squadron building and reception afterwards. John's dad, Hayden, and Ethan performed the changing of rank. They did such a good job. I know I have said it many times, but we are so proud of John. He has worked so hard by finishing ACSC, almost complete with Air War College, and being away from us each month. He totally deserves this! The squadron was great to us, they welcomed us by putting our names on the marquee and seeing to our every need.
John taking his oath.
Let the pinning begin
He didn't forget Heidi, thanks for the awesome card it made me cry! Thanks to you too Daniel for coming out and sharing in our day. It is so great to have to such wonderful friends.
Now, I am a Colonels wife!!!!
The proud parents with their baby boy.
If it is possible, he is even more handsome with his new rank. Gosh, I love this man!
