One of the happiest moments of my life. My sister Willow Mitchell finally returning home from her second deployment. 1 in Iraq, 1 in Afghanistan. She proudly served as a Captain in the US Airforce. 14 yrs of fighting for our country and 26 yrs of raising me...I owe her the world. Thank you to all who have served and continue to. Love you Wo. #VeteransDay
