Well, I am from an army background. My dad is in the Defence forces and I have travelled enough in the north to get my Hindi right.
The constant movement of a military life can be tough on children. My father was an officer in the army, and I was forced to change elementary schools six times.
My mom is in the navy and my dad works for the army, but I never called them 'sir' or 'ma'am' or anything like that, and we never really moved around a lot because both my parents were stationed in D.C.
My father was in the Army and we moved around a lot, and one of my favorite places was the library.
I think I was really bored at school. I was quietly clock watching for years. I went to 10 schools because my dad was in the Army and we moved around a lot.
My dad and grandpa were in the army and as a country singer you're constantly playing at military bases all across the country and meeting soldiers and their families and hearing their stories.
In Washington, I'll always support military families and help veterans make the transition home, not just as your congressman but as a proud Army mom.
My father was in the Army so I have lived all over India.
