SSG Sheldon Fogarty

Staff Sergeant Sheldon Fogarty from Bronx, New York answers Guillermo from Georgia, who asks; "What were your parents' reactions when you told them you were joining the Army and were they proud of you?"

Well Guillermo, I'll tell you, my parents were more than shocked to every kind of surprised they could think of and then some. They were, even though they were surprised they were very proud that I was going to take on this mission and put this uniform on. I can tell you its one of the most proudest days of my mom's life.
