This is cool - the family I got my dog from:
Udland's selected as Coast Guard Family of Year
The Coast Guard Family of the Year is based in Juneau.

That announcement coming Wednesday from the National Military Family Association.

The association picked the family of Boatswain Mate Aaron Udland.

Udland's family consist of his wife Shannon: 15 year old daughter Sierra: 15 year old son Michael: another son named Michael who is 12: and a 10 month old daughter named Austin.

Udland is assigned to Station Juneau. He's a 1989 graduate of Juneau Douglas High School who joined the Coast Guard in 1997.

The association release says the Udland's are making a difference in Juneau.

It says the family's passion is the Relay for Life fundraiser for cancer research.

It says the family has turned volunteering into a whole family activity.

The release adds that the family loves to spend time together exploring the wonderful activities that Juneau has to offer.

The association also announced families for the other services. They include the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Public Health Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

One of them will be named the 2009 Military Family of the Year on October 28 in Washington, D. C.

Udland says the association is flying all of the families to the event.
