Michelle Obama: "Seven years ago I was finishing my deployment to Iraq when my wife called--our first baby would be delivered early for medical reasons. Thanks to a Red Cross message, I was able to make it home from Iraq in 72 hours, 26 hours before my son was born. All along that frantic journey home, the airline staff and other travelers went out of their way to ensure I made it back in time, thanking me for my service along the way. With Iraq mud still on my boots, I walked into the hospital and hugged my wife, and welcomed the birth of my son” –Andy Anderson, a proud @USAirForce father. #JoiningForces
