Salute to Senior Airman Garrett McGinnis

Posted: 12:28 PM ET

This salute is from Britney McGinnis to her husband Senior Airman Garrett McGinnis, U.S. Air Force.

Britney writes:
My husband is one of the best people I know. Garrett has been in the Air Force over 4 years. We just "celebrated" our 3rd wedding anniversary Dec 27th. He's an amazing father and leader. We have 2 children, Ryan is 2 years old and Connor is 16 days old. It's really sad he had to miss the birth of our second son due to this war. He won't meet Connor until May 2011. But we're very looking forward to him coming home to hold his new baby, and golf with Ryan.

&& just to clarify- I wrote "celebrated" our 3rd anniversary that way bc he wasn't home.
