Two heroes in one family…
I know…two stories about our heroes in uniform in a row…but these are the men and women who risk it all to keep us safe.
In this story, two heroes in one family: a son taking the oath in the National Guard here at home; the other, a father administering that oath from Iraq.

A quick excerpt:
Dupont’s father, Lt. Col. Daniel Dupont, appeared via video teleconference from his post in Iraq to induct his son.
“Well, stand up, state your name and raise your right hand,” the elder Dupont told his boy.
Tears welled up as Seth Dupont repeated the oath; then he told his father he loved him.
“Congratulations, son,” his father said. “I’m proud of you, man. I love you, too. You made a good, strong decision.”
