Charles & Tiffany Flowers
Class of 1971
Army, 20+ Years
My father, Charles Flowers, served 22 1/2 years in the military for both the US Air Force (1972-1985) and the US Army (1985-1994). I served only 5 months in the US Army in 1999, but I am proud of my short amount of time and would gladly do it again.
My father may not have been in any wars, but I'm proud of him for serving his country with pride and honor; as I am proud of myself for following in his footsteps, no matter how short my tour was.
