MTD, good for you. These are memories you both will cherish for a long time. I've had the pleasure of going on Air Guard deployments with my dad.
Most memorable, though, was when I was deployed overseas. I was at the tail end of my deployment, and my Dad was on his way into Iraq and had a layover (about 8 hours) on my base before flying to his destination. We had time to have dinner, he brought me some pictures of my infant son (whom he had seen and held but I had not), and I had one of my airmen take a picture of the two of us.
Dad retires from the Guard this April, so that was the last time I'll have a deployment of any kind with Dad.
