Thank you DC1 *****

[NavyMom(Robin)]

I cant use his name....but I want to thank him....March 26th at about 6:30 pm we had a tragedy in my family.....my youngest sister age 32 and her two girls....one age 10 yrs and another age 11mnths....were hit head on on their way to the grocery store and killed....the other driver was killed as well....the only bright spot to this was that my sisters 3 year old girl in the van with them survived with not much more than a scratch and car seat bruises.....I called my son....and he talked to his DC1 and his DC1 called me and got all the info...and had his emergency leave processed and was calling me again to tell my son to come pick it up.....he was on the first flight out on Saturday morning....and got here in time to be a pawbearer in the funeral.....I know they don't have grant emergency leave when its not imediate family......and the fact they took such care and consideration with us and my son....means the world to me and my family and further proves to me that the Navy career choice was the right one for my son.....I know the chances of him reading this are small.....I wanted to thank him with more than the Thank you card I sent via my son......so Thank You so very much....from the bottom of my heart.........

I am deeply sorry for your loss and offer my thoughts and prayers to you and your son. I encouraged by DC1's actions, it is a good feeling to know that there are such fine men and women taking care of our newest and most vulnerable Sailor's in the Navy.

Oh Robin, I'm so SO sorry! But what a wonderful way for the Navy to show they care, by making sure you had your son's strength to help carry you through. I'm so proud of all of our sailors, and of the Navy itself, all over again.
