Allow an old retired Army guy to brag about his son...
Congrats. That is quite an accomplishment for him and his parents. I too would be proud.

If he did it, it's not bragging! OUTSTANDING!
Two things bring me to tears. The unconditional Love of God,the service of the United States Military,past,present,and future.
I would rather meet a slick-sleeve private, than a hollywood star!

Congratulations to him. I hope he becomes a general officer.
My father left the Marine Corps as a one-stripe private. He didn't serve much active duty and was a reservist for years.
But my father-in-law retired from the Air Force as a colonel, having joined the Army at the beginning of World War II.This message has been edited. Last edited by: jhe888, April 05, 2022 03:45 PM

Congratulations Johnny. I read this to my wife the other night, and I thought I had replied. What a great accomplishment. I’m very happy for you, and your son.
