'Our son, our hero'
![]() Robin, My son, PFC Adam Leppert, is with the 82nd Airborne, 1st Brigade, 2nd Battalion in Ft. Bragg, NC. I watched all of your show this morning. It was wonderful! Adam is 19 years old and will be deployed to Iraq for his 1st tour of duty in June. Adam has talked about going into the military since he was 13 years old after 9/11. I never gave it much thought until he actually enlisted and my husband and I and our three other children are so proud of him. During Adam's Airborne graduation, my husband got to pin his old Airborne wings on Adam as he too had graduated from Airborne school. The day of his graduation, it was 19 years to the day that my husband enlisted in the military himself. It was a proud moment for us! -- Tara Noble of Greenfield, Indiana |
