Army reservist here. Even when you're not on active duty, it's still in your blood, and I have always been proud to serve; I'm hoping my son will do the same someday.

My son is only 5 but he is showing signs that he wants to follow in my footsteps. He loves me and I adore him. I hope I can keep him safe from every bad thing in the world.

That's so sweet of you. I am okay even if my child is not in this field. As long as he is also serving the country in his own way.

Same here! I just had my 18th anniversary as a reservist! I proudly served on active duty for deployment, in 2009, then again in 2018. I agree, it’s stays in your blood! And my son is already talking to an Army Recruiter!

It stays in the blood! That is so true! I'd be thrilled if my son decides to take the same path.

Question to Leadership!
1. You are calling all the employees in the office & just providing lunch? That's all for completing 150 years?
2. You would ask questions, and whoever is able to answer it, you will give some merchandise only to them?, And the other people are not your employees?
Why are you even organizing it? You think people would come from far places just for lunch?
