I am very proud of her and all that she has accomplished, being in the Army since age 18 and mother of a college student attending St. Augustine College in Raleigh, North Carolina. As an Army Reservist, she tries her hardest to enjoy the little things with her daughter, because being in the military can take her to many places. She has traveled the world, seen different countries and states, but her best moments were being there for her daughter. Looking back on her first school Christmas Pageant, to the after-school activities and festivals, Girl Scout meetings, seeing her go to prom, and now in college. Being a mom has made life a little more resilient, to be able to fight the good fight and return home to see her loving face. This is what being a mom has done for her. Joyce Forrest, Financial Management Analyst, and her daughter, U.S. Army Reserves Staff Sgt. Joanne R. Forrest.
