Here's a blurb about Aaron, Marilee's son:
Staff Sgt. Aaron Frigaard
3rd Space Operations Squadron
Sergeant Frigaard's expertise in satellite operations was demonstrated when he became the Air Force's first certified enlisted instructor for Wideband Global SATCOM, the newest 50th SW satellite system in 13 years. His efforts resulted in the training of 110 tasks to 11 officers and enlisted crew members in record time, which in turn allowed 3rd SOPS to take control of the $600-million satellite eight months ahead of schedule. Sergeant Frigaard further distinguished himself as a tactical operations center operator when he deployed to the 451st Air Expeditionary Group at Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan. During his 197-day deployment, he relayed status to regional command for 2,990 enemy engagements, executed-time sensitive response for 24 rocket attacks and averted a suicide bomb attempt, which saved 70 Soldiers' lives.

Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.
