In February of 2008 he met Jessica. He came to visit me in Florida in April of '08 and she was all he talked about. He was utterly and completely in love. He was living and working in San Antonio, Texas at the time. He had a country and western band. She loved his music. She loved him and he returned her feelings ten fold. They were married in 2009 and a short time later had a son. They were excellent parents from the start. I spent the first few weeks of the baby's life with them to help out but soon learned they were naturals as parents. As soon as Jessica was on her feet I left, confident in the knowledge that the first born son of my first born son was in the best of hands. It was a beautiful time in our lives. Justin was completely enthralled with his new son, calling me with every discovery and every part of his development. I would make many return visits.
Justin worked small jobs, performed with his band as vocalist and lead guitar but his favorite job was his son. Jessica returned to work and supported them while he followed his dreams.
There was something Justin always wanted to do while in the Army. He wanted to be a helicopter pilot. Jessica bought him two tickets for flights to see if he was going to like it. He fell in love with it and knew after the first flight it was for him. Soon after his maiden flights he started his search for an accredited program that accepted VA benefits. He found one north of Phoenix in Prescott, Arizona. As luck would have it there was a branch of Jessica's company in Phoenix. They packed up and moved from Texas.
