One of the children at South Whidbey Children’s Center had a surprise visit from her dad serving in the armed forces. He was gone for a long time and it was a very tearful reunion. At left, Jade Hamley, 5, greets her father, Chris Hamley, in a surprise visit to the center. Above, they leave hand-in-hand. Hamley is an AMEI (AW/SW) with the VAQ-133 Wizards who are based at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station when not abroad aboard the USS John C. Stennis.
