WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2010 – While most parents carry around a tattered, wallet-sized photo or two of their kids, Mary Scott has about a dozen 8-by-10s ready for display.
Upon request, she whips out her family portraits with the speed of a Wild West six-shooter. Her now-grown children are posed in various scenes outside, mostly clad in camouflage. All six of her children, she tells people with pride, are in the military.
“My children are my heroes,” she said. “My husband and I always let them know how proud we are of them and how proud they should be.”
Five of the Scotts’ children are in the Army, and one in the Air Force – and all are scattered throughout the world. This year, like many before, only half of her children made it home for the holidays, but she takes the separations in stride.
