You remember Goose from Top Gun? He was such a good guy. I never understood why they called him Goose. Today, I came across an article called “The Wisdom of Flying Geese.” And I think, yeah, that sounds like him. In fact it sounds like us, too—milspouses.

A Brief Exchange; A Deep Connection
Today, my sons and I went to the airport. My oldest was flying out to visit with family for a month. As we parked in the airport parking lot, we all noticed a soldier and his family. My sons were captivated.
“Look a soldier!” my 8 year old shouted.
“He looks like Dad!” my 10 year old added.
“Daddy!” my 2 year old cried.
“I bet he is on leave,” my 16 year old said.
We’re stationed at Fort Stewart. We see soldiers in and around post almost daily. Still, though, it is never “old hat” to my boys.
