Jesse Whipkey, US Navy

Jesse was nominated by his wife, Laura:

I am so blessed to call my husband, mine! He is such an amazing husband, and a wonderful daddy to our 3 little girls! My husband joined the Navy in May of 2010. He has sacrificed so much for our family, for our country, and for that I am so grateful! Although it is hard having my best friend gone for long periods of time, and seeing our girls miss their daddy so much, we are so incredibly proud of him; he is our hero, and always will be! 🙂
