Airman 1st Class Anna Davis, Knowledge Operations Manager with the 87th Mission Suport Group on Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., sits in the lap of a family member as a baby in a family photo. Airman Davis' father, Aaron Davis Sr., in the rear at center, is standing next to her mother, Alicia Davis, right. "As far back as I can remember, I have always been close with my father, Airman Davis said. "Whenever my mom told me I couldn't do something, I would always run to my dad because I knew that the answer would never be 'no.' In any case throughout my childhood, I've always been able to go to my dad when I had issues, from the smallest paper cut to the biggest life-changing decision like joining the Armed Forces. An enduring life lesson that I have learned from my father would be to take pride in what you do and be willing to sacrifice for something greater than yourself. My father was in the Army and provided support during Operation Desert Storm back when I was an infant, almost 20 years ago. Prior to joining the military, I had heard so many stories from my dad--some positive, others not so much. But in any case, he always told me that if I was willing to sacrifice myself for a greater good, then that alone should make me proud. Years later, I followed in my father's footsteps, and I wear this uniform today with pride--pride in knowing what I do every day is supporting something greater than myself."
