Officer Commissioning

Phillip became commissioned as an officer on Tuesday evening, May 27 at 10PM. He became a Second Lieutenant of the United States Air Force. Our Uncle Mike, a retired Colonel in the US Army (a West Point grad), commissioned him. This was a very formal ceremony, and I can confess that I teared up as I saw my little bro become an officer.
