Yep that's right. After what felt like forever, Chase picked up Sgt. Today! (Sorry, no new addition to our family) We are so proud of him. He got promoted meritoriously and his CO made an awesome speech about him! I pinned his new rank on, which I was so honored to do, and little Ava watched as it all happened. She was very good! Here are some pictures of our amazing day. Chase said we couldn't talk about it until it happened or we would jinx it, so sorry to all for the wait! Congrats Hunny!!! We are so proud of all that you have accomplished in your career already and stand behind you as you continue to serve and protect our country! Thanks for everything you do at work and at home. You are an amazing dad and husband and we love you so much!
Love, Crystal and Ava

And thats a wrap. Thanks to everyone for all the support that you have given Chase, and us as a family, through his career so far. He really couldn't have done this without all of y'all!
Congratulations to Chase! We are so proud of you and so grateful that you do serve this great country of ours! We love you all!

Congratulations! We are so proud to have a young man like you serving our country and we are proud to call you grandson! Not because you were promoted to sargeant but because you are you! You, Crystal and Ava are in our prayers everyday.
