This man is a stud. He spends most of his waking hours preping for and then piloting the MC-12 in 6-7 hr, intense night missions that help save so many lives of troops on the ground and save an unknown number of people from known terrorist insurgents. Everytime I talk to him and hear about his recent missions I am in awe of the impact he has everyday on so many lives. He is a modern day superhero. This job could stand alone in proving my point.
But on top of that he wakes up early to work on two online courses for his MBA, which takes him twice as long as it should because the internet connection is slow. He often brings his textbooks with him on the plane to read during the flight out and back from the mission location.
Plus, he somehow finds time to stick to his "Body for Wife" program and gets over to the gym nearly everyday. So in summary, he fights bad guys, is really smart, and looks good doing it!
And when his day is done and his body is probably just screaming at him to go to sleep, he pulls out his laptop, calls me on Skype, and listens to my day with Rex with a big smile on his face.
Who could ask for a better man? Rex has an amazing father and I have an amazing husband. I hope we will both always appreciate what he does for us and for our country.

I appreciate people like Aleks and you all the time! Whenever I see any military personnel in their uniform I always thank them and think of Aleks. We keep you guys in our prayers always!
Seriously, that's one of the best husband-tributes I've ever read. Ten points for Aleks! And for you too, for appreciating him so well!
