I retired from the Army in 2018, but here is my family prior to deploying to Afghanistan in 2010. As a mother serving our great nation, my children have witnessed firsthand the importance of protecting our freedoms. However, being away from my children due to my duties was difficult. Thankfully, many military family support programs and yellow ribbon events were available to assist. I always felt grateful knowing that my family, military colleagues, and friends were there to support me whenever I or my family needed it.

I am currently active duty and the mom of two Air Force officers. Being a military mom has allowed my children to grow up in a military community where they saw how being a military member is about service, patriotism, and respect. I could not be more proud of them choosing to follow in the many footsteps of our family members by joining the military and to see how they are paving their own paths. It is a huge honor for me to serve alongside my two sons, Capt. Zachary Lewis, 8th Intelligence Squadron, Hickam Air Force Base, and 2nd Lt. Matthew Lewis, 47th Student Squadron, Laughlin Air Force Base. U.S. Air Force Col. Laura Lewis, Master Clinician, 95th Medical Group, Eglin Air Force Base.

Being a military mom has taught me that I am capable of achieving so much more even if my responsibilities have also multiplied. Having my daughter gives me the motivation to strive to be the best version of myself for my family and for the people I work with. U.S. Navy Medical Service Corps Lt.

I have been beyond fortunate to serving in the military, while being a wife and a mother to two beautiful children. Fulfilling both personal and professional goals have come at a cost to my family, but I have never felt that it wasn’t supported by them. The honor for me is to see how my son and daughter have faced challenges and made sacrifices and yet overcome and ultimately have become more resilient. We are all replaceable; mentoring those that are the future of the world’s greatest Air Force was a lot closer to home than I thought it would be. Our daughter is active duty now, and we are ready to watch her grow as an Airman and fellow Wingman. I am beyond proud of my family and ready to see how they lead their own legacy. Thank you for this opportunity to share this proud mom and honored Airman moment. U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Lacy Clemente, Dental Flight Chief, 51st Operational Medical Readiness Squadron, Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea.

Being a military mom is about being dedicated to two families, your personal family and the military family. As a military mom, I try to teach my children what dedication and success looks like. I hope for them to find their passion to serve in whatever capacity they choose as they grow into young men. 29 years of service, prior enlisted! U.S. Navy Capt.

I’m sending in a picture of me and my daughter during her battle with cancer. Why? Because it was during this period that my role as a single, military mom stationed OCONUS during COVID became even more apparent and vital. Due to the UK’s COVID lockdown and how fragile my daughter’s health was at that time she was diagnosed, we had to do an Exceptional Family Member Program deferment to stay in place for her care at the closest off-base hospital. The lockdown prevented our family from coming into the country to assist. That is where my amazing flight and military and government leadership stepped in and up in every way imaginable. Their continued support throughout her 2.5-year battle gave me the added strength I needed. During one of her chemo sessions, we were sporting the t-shirts my flight (Medical Information Services) made for us. At the time I was the 48th Medical Support Squadron Medical Information Services Flight Chief. TRICARE came through for us, too. Not the usual comment you hear, I know. But they made sure she received everything she needed to get better. For that I am eternally thankful. You never truly realize until your children are in a life-or-death situation what you are willing to do or go without to save them. Or the number of tears you will shed unbeknownst to them, praying for a miracle. On 15 Feb 2023 we received notification that her cancer is in remission! More mom tears shed, only happy ones this time! U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Deborah Iraheta, Flight Chief, Information Services & ITU, 59th Training Support Squadron, Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston.

My mother is the most amazing person I know. She had to be the best of a billion people to emigrate from India to the U.S. in the mid-70's. She was the first female to complete her residency in Ophthalmology at SUNY Buffalo, a traditionally male-dominated field. She's been practicing medicine for over 45 years and helped countless people through her compassion, empathy and understanding. Additionally, she's an awesome mom! She'll listen, give advice when it’s needed, and a kick in the butt when it’s warranted. She's the wisest person I know, and her voice is always in my head reminding me of what’s right vs wrong. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for my mom. I love her, am so grateful she’s in my life, and probably need to call her more often to tell her that.
