They also work together for the Memphis District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

    Children often want to make their fathers proud, and an involved father promotes inner growth and strength.

After speaking with a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers father/son duo, the evidence is clear; this father was absolutely present in his son's life. And in turn, both father and son reap the benefits while working together at the Memphis District Ensley Engineer Yard (EEY).
