awards and letters of appreciation from
numerous commanders.
My grandfather passed away in 2002,
but left a lasting legacy. Before he passed,
he shared the reason he worked so hard
and dedicated so much of his time to
America, as he would always say, it’s due
to a dream that one day his family would
move to the United States. Back in 1987,
while working, he found a wallet that
belonged to the base commander. The
wallet contained the commander’s mili-
tary ID and approximately $200. Two-
hundred dollars in the Philippines is a
large amount of money, especially back
in 1987. However, my grandfather didn’t
keep the wallet. My grandfather received
another award, but the recognition was
different from any other. The base com-
mander wrote a letter of recommenda-
tion with “special immigration” papers
which gave my family the opportunity to
move to the United States. By July 1990,
we seized the opportunity and settled in
San Bernardino, California.

Parent Support Group: Share common
experiences unique to special needs fami-
lies and learn about new information and
resources. We meet the third Wednesday
of every month at the Airman and Family
community for years, but I think about
what Clark AB, the Air Force and ulti-
mately what the United States did for my
family. As active-duty members, we are
expected to deploy at a moment’s notice,
volunteer and meet a unique mission set
on the frigid, gusty plains of North Da-
kota. All while attempting to maintain a
harmonious household when we are off
duty. You may not see it, but in all that
we do as active-duty military members
there are lasting effects to other cultures
that we may come across.
When we serve with honor, we make
a difference just as King did. Sure we
shouldn’t compare ourselves to anyone,
let alone King, however, a dream is only a
dream unless you pursue it with reverence
and motivation for it to become a reality.
The theme every year for the Martin
Luther King Jr. Day is, “Remember! Cel-
ebrate! Act! A Day On ... Not a Day Off.”
Remember what the Air Force did for me
and my family, celebrate your achieve-
ments, act with honor, and remember
that Jan. 18 is a day to commemorate a
hero while reflecting back to our past as
heroes of the U.S. Air Force.
