As he worked on the front lines in an environment that could've surely killed him, Conover's thoughts kept wandering back to his family at home on Fortune Street in Columbia and he yearned to be with them. In fact, he even recorded a short video for his wife on Snapchat, telling her that he loved her just in case he didn't ever get the chance to tell her again. "Tell your family and friends that you love them all the time," he insists. "Because you just don't know when you're not gonna be able to tell them again." - KMM Comments | Permalink FFA team visits Oklahoma National Stockyards
