Sargent waiting to meet his baby

Posted: 11:46 AM ET

Kinley Jade Long is still waiting to meet her daddy, Sargent Michael Long.

My husband Michael Corey Long is in the marines and is currently serving in Iraq. He just got promoted to Sargent!!

The biggest and most important change in his life has been the birth of his first child Kinley Jade Long. Since he has been deployed in Iraq he missed her birth and has yet to meet his new baby girl.

Kinley can't wait to be in her daddy's arms and Michael can't wait to hold her. Michael is an amazing person and will also be an amazing father.

Please be safe and we love you. We all miss you like crazy!!!!

- Britany Long

Congratulations Britany!
I am a prior active duty Marine and this story grabbed my attention. Though your husband is overseas sacrificing for all of us, I just want to say thank you to you and your family for all the sacrifices you make as well.

Take care and Semper FI.
