My dad is a bad ass Mofo. He spent 30 years in the Army and was a Command Sergeant Major. Yes, my dad is cooler than your dad. We always gave him crap about the Command Sergeant Major thing because it was cool for us because we would get great parking at the commissary and the PX but we knew he was always a bad ass.

He spent time in Panama (where my sister was born), Bosnia, South Korea, Iraq, Kuwait, Dijibouti (ja booty..ahahah), Afghanistan, Ft. Lewis (where I was born), Ft. Hood (Killeen, Texas), and just about everywhere else.

Big thanks to him for helping me do the things that I do and giving me the freedom to make some awesome food.

Thanks also goes out to his dad who fought in the Korean War.  My mom’s brothers who were in the National Guard and Navy. My wife’s brother who is in the Air Force and her dad who was in the Army and National Guard. Also, to all the rest of the service men out there…..Hooah!

    Eric on Dad’s behalf he says THANK YOU!. He likes the Mofo bad ass. He laughed pretty hard. Can you hear him laughing. I am very proud to have him as my husband and the father of my children Angelie and Eric. He served with pride and enjoyed every minute of it. We are also thankful for our freedom and for every person that have served and is serving in the armed forces. Thank you for our FREEDOM.

    Thanks Eric! Your dad is amazing. We get to park up front at the BX too, but only because Angela is pregnant – definitely not because of rank… I can’t wait to try your cooking in just a couple of weeks!!
