The Promotion Ceremony
Yesterday at 4pm Josh was promoted to Major. The ceremony started with the SJA. He spoke about Josh and all his accomplishments in his 11 years in the army. It is a amazing feeling as a wife to hear your husband's boss brag about your husband. After Colonel Miller spoke, the promotion orders were read an we pinned on his new rank. Then Josh spoke briefly. He even surprised me with roses--thanking him for supporting him. After that it was time for cake!!!!
I am so proud of you, Josh. You work so hard at what you do. You were an amazing Field Artillery officer, and now an confident, powerful attorney serving your country. This promotion is long overdue if you ask me. Once again- I am so proud of you and lucky to be your wife!!!!

After the ceremony, Josh wanted to include the kids. He had them put his new shoulder boards on
I also wanted to mention that we used my Grandfather's(Poppa's) Major leafs for the ceremony. After Poppa pasted away, my grandmother gave Josh a box of Poppa's old rank and army pins. My Poppa served in WWII and was promoted to Major while he was in Burma.
