“There’s so many. I don’t know.”

Anyone come to mind?

“My sister-in-law. She’s just always there for us.”

“It would be my mother, Marilyn Browne.”

Any reason why?

“As a serviceman myself, my father and my uncles. And all the service men and women who served in the Armed Forces over the years to protect our freedom and our rights. And Jesus Christ, for dying for our sins and our salvation.”

“My mother.”

What did she do?

“She quit her job to move to Oregon to take care of my daughter when my mother-in-law was ill.”
