[2] Together as a Family
There are no greater bonds than the bonds shared with a mother and her children. That certainly holds water with Josh and Kimberly Ramos and their mother Dawn VanHeuveln. Their family has always been close to each other. As Dawn's children got older and more independent, some might think they would start doing their own things in life and start straying from the family. This might be especially true if one of them joined the military; however, that would not be the case for their family.

[2] U.S. Forces Conduct Sniper Training With Kuwait Commandos
At the base of a mountain range in Kuwait, a barely visible target is seen standing against the wind.
