JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
Taking care of our family
The holiday season is here, and this is a great time to slow down and appreciate the things in our lives.
We are always busy with work and other things in our everyday lives, but during this holiday season please slow down and give some time back to your family. Our families have suffered and sacrificed for us to serve our country.
Think about who stays home while we are deployed and takes care of everything. It does not even have to be deployments, just normal days while we are on those long hours. Our families are always there to support us. It is time that we give back to them.
So this year, do something special with your family; it does not have to cost a lot. Some people think love is how much you spent on gifts, but it can be as simple as spending some quality time with your family.
When we say family, we usually think of our biological family, but do not forget about your Air Force family. Let us do our part and take care of our Air Force brothers and sisters. Take some time and open up your home to a young Airman who is away from home and will not be with his or her family this year.
Let us make this holiday season a happy one. You can call it whatever you want wingman, big brother or big sister - it does not matter. Let us take care of each other during the holidays and the years to come.
