"Sometimes I just can't imagine my life without my son. By the time children are 18 months you notice how unique they are and it is such an amazing experience watching them grow. He is 21 years and in the National Guard and was deployed for the day he finished training. Fortunately he is not in combat and we Skype once a week." - Bonnie Novella is a real estate investor in Schenectady, NY.

“I had a seasonal job selling firearms and I just fell in love with them. After a while I wanted to be more hands-on with firearms so I joined the Airforce.” Jeana is an Airman in the United States Airforce and thinks the hardest part of being a woman is that people underestimate her. She is the youngest child in her family and also the only female. “Being a woman in a home full of men had its challenges but it taught me to be strong. My father served in the Navy during Vietnam. When I first enlisted he thought that the military was not a good place for women. But now that he sees me in the Airforce, he has changed his mind.”
