Jack said, "Mom, I'm going too. You'll help me ask for leave, right?
Maggie, you should come too. It should be interesting."
Maggie put down her chopsticks, shook her head, and said, "I really want to go, but my dad won't agree..."
"Why not?"
"He won't let me leave Los Angeles alone."
"You don't need to leave Los Angeles. The award ceremony is in Los Angeles, right, brother?"
Luke bumped fists with Maggie, "Maggie is right, the award ceremony is in Washington, specifically at the White House."
"What? The White House! You're not joking, are you?" Val exclaimed, his mouth wide open.
"It looks like I need to educate you all. The Medal of Valor is the highest honor awarded to public safety officers by the country, and it's presented by the Great Commander himself."
Robert stood up, spreading his arms, "Oh my God, the Great Commander of America is going to personally present the award to my grandson?"
Luke nodded, "That's right."
