The times, they are a’changin’, including at at military bases in small-town Georgia.
On Jan. 30, Aaron Austin and his husband, Chief Warrant Officer Christopher Dellamura, attended Ft. Benning’s Annual 4th Ranger Training Battalion Ball at the River Mill Event Center located in Columbus, Ga., about 100 miles south of Atlanta.
Dellamura,a senior instructor pilot and instrument flight examiner, has been stationed at Ft. Benning for just over a year, Austin told the GA Voice. While the two do not live on base, they are very much part of the military family and were very welcome at the ball.
“It was an amazing experience — and everyone was so warm and welcoming,” Austin said.
The couple has been together six years and were married in Connecticut in August.
“I am an active member of the Family Readiness Group with his Company and have found a great new family in the Army. The other spouses have been so warm and welcoming and it gives me a great sense of community,” Austin said.
Thanks for being all that you can be, gentlemen, and making it easier for other soldiers.
