Things come easy to Brandyn Hillman on the field, but ask him to describe how proud he is of his mother and the 2023 Virginia athlete hesitates in a way he’s unlikely to do during a Friday night Churchland High School football game.
“100,” Hillman says at first. “I'm beyond the charts proud of her…Infinite. I'm infinite proud of her.”
Unsatisfied with his first couple attempts, Hillman accepts the fact that he won’t be able to sum it up sufficiently.
“There's no scale to measure how proud I am of her,” he says.
Shawn Hillman recently retired from the Army after 16 years of service.
Constantly being on the move wasn’t easy for Shawn or Brandyn.
“We moved around quite a bit,” says Shawn, noting that they’ve lived in Hawaii, Georgia, New York and Virginia while she also did deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan, Poland and Korea.
