A: My wife, though not a service member herself, has inspired, influenced and motivated me during my military career. She has been my voice of reason, my sounding-board and a much needed confidant. She has motivated me to keep going when I wanted to quit, and she helps when and where she can to lighten the burden. It has been my wife, supporting and pushing me, that has helped be become the Soldier and the person I am today.
Q: If you could meet one individual, alive or dead, who would it be and why?
A: I would want to meet Carl Sagan. I would want to discuss and learn all he could share about our world and universe; to discuss astrophysics and astronomy; and to hear his thoughts and opinions on what we know today. Carl Sagan has been an inspiration to countless others and has given so much to the world of science. This is why it would be an honor and a pleasure to meet him.
