#GotMySix: My Family

By SFC Randell Traxler, U.S. Army

I’ve been a member of so many teams. I can’t remember them all. The one that’s remained my driving force has always been my home family. My beautiful wife and daughters sustain me through every challenge, every attempted roadblock, and every hardship life has thrown my way. They are my rock, my salvation, and my strength.

Sore? Tired? Broke? Don’t want to get out of bed? They pop into my head like a motivational speaker and, without pause, my mind and body are spurred into earning the love and respect they selflessly give me every single day.

I know no matter what comes my way and how dark it might get, I have 3 strong women in my corner to make sure that my team—the Traxler Team—won’t quit, won’t back down, and is always ready to help those who might not have what we have.
