I recently discovered that WPMI, the NBC affiliate in Mobile, Alabama, has had a feature for several years called "Salute to Our Veterans." I don't know how they choose the veterans they salute, but on November 21, 2018, they chose my nephew Joel Richard Kent III and honored him for 20 years of service in the U.S. Navy. At the time he was a Lieutenant Commander and living in Florida. As it turns out, November 21 is just a few days after his birthday, so maybe that had something to do with when they featured him.
Anyway, I think that's really cool, so I figured I'd make sure everyone knew about it! The version on the WPMI site doesn't quite finish before another tribute comes in over it, and an ad runs before it, so a very nice person there (thank you, Keith!) uploaded Joel's Salute to their YouTube channel so I could share it with everyone. And now you can watch it here.
Happy birthday, Joel!
Congratulations Joel. Thank you for your years of Service to America. So nice they recognized you!
