Behind the Stripes: The Morrow Family

There are many paths that bring people to Atlanta. Maybe it’s the culture, the weather, the music or the food. Maybe it’s a job. For Jonelle Morrow, it was family.

“I grew up in California and this one brought me down to Atlanta,” Jonelle says with a smile toward her husband Dave.

Dave Morrow is from Snellville, Georgia, and before he first put on army boots, he wore soccer cleats. After two years in collegiate soccer at Southern Polytechnic College, he joined the National Guard.

“I wanted help to finish paying school, but it’s always something I wanted to do,” Dave said.
