Allow an old retired Army guy to brag about his son...
My son has been promoted to Colonel (O6) in the US Army, in an Combat Arms branch. He has been a Combat Arms Commander at each rank he has held, graduated from the Command and General Staff College and the Army War College. He is now taking a Brigade overseas.

I can't properly express how proud my wife and I are. I was an Army brat, he was an Army brat, and his son (my grandson) is striving to be accepted into the US Department of Defense Medical School to become an Army Surgeon.

I am so freaking glad I have lived long enough to see this.




If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

You and your son are to be congratulated--him for his accomplishments and you (and your wife) for raising him so well.

Thank you for your service to our country. The lineage your family represents is a testament and example.

The facts are your family has sacrificed to obtain a measure of success that few can claim. Congratulations Sir.
