Five women waiting for Air Force Staff Sergeant Stephen Bullington to come home

Posted: 05:08 AM ET

This is a salute to Staff Sergeant Stephen Bullington, U.S. Air Force from his wife Ashley and their four daughters. Ashley writes:

"Staff Sergeant Stephen Bullington is currently deployed, he left just three months after the birth of our third and fourth daughters (twins), and they are now seven months old. This is the second time he has had to deploy in the past two years. The first time was just two weeks after we were married. He will have been gone a total of a year by the time he arrives home sometime in the fall. His little girls talk to him every single day. They miss him terribly. We are so proud of him and all of his wonderful accomplishments! Way to go honey! I think that he deserves a salute in his honor, as well a high five!"
