One of the guys from Frontline or History Channel with a cool voice is talking about you in a bio. What does he say?

Melissa Gilliland …… the name itself will put a smile on your face and make you wish every month was September.   Coming from a family of nine, Melissa learned at an early age how to stand out from the rest.  She spent her early life in the woods & creeks of North Alabama where she learned how to shoot and fish from her Dad. He would take her hunting where she would carry a double barrel 12 gauge shotgun!  Melissa has worked as a Paralegal and Real Estate Broker with her own company.  These days she is the outgoing, proud mother of four children and a full time go getter.  This all-around girl loves to shoot guns, travel, play golf and spend time with her family.  Melissa married her husband in February, shortly after his fourth tour overseas. Together you can find them on a gun range, eating hot wings & beer, watching Action Figure Therapy (Go Ranger!) or just relaxing at home in Georgia.   Melissa is known to be Annie Oakley on the range, Paula Dean in the kitchen and well, you get the rest of this story…………
