Ron and Angela taught their son and three daughters the importance of Military Family Readiness through participation in summer military youth boot camps starting at age 8. Angela’s stepson, JhaVonte, is currently a member of the Texas National Guard. Ahriyan, their oldest daughter, is a freshman at Florida A&M University where she is also a member of the Florida National Guard. Both Ron and Ahriyan were recently deployed to support hurricane victims during the aftermath of Irma. Ron continues to serve in WIANG and is slowly transitioning to civilian life at Northwestern Mutual as an Assistant Director of Diversity & Inclusion while the third generation of the Adams build on their family legacy. Ron’s father represents the first generation having served in World War II. For Ron and Angela, the family legacy of service continues.
November is Military Family Appreciation Month and we asked you to submit stories about your experience with the military. Thank you to all that shared their stories and for the brave contributions and sacrifices that were made during the time that was served!
