U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. James Graves Jr., 386th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron heavy equipment operator, poses for a photo at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, July 14, 2022. Graves uses the life lessons he's learned from his mother and father to better himself and those around him. “Joining the Air Force was in my blood. Both my parents served, my dad did 34 years and retired last year and my mom did 28 years. I was just following in their footsteps. My dad loves and is proud of the career path that I’ve chosen. I call back to him almost every week and talk to him about the jobs that I’m doing," Graves said. “I strive to be better than I was yesterday, which is a lot of what he instilled into me growing up, along with responsibility and integrity. I try to make my dad proud every day.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Dalton Williams)
