The launch event is Friday. I was just invited by his son so that my son can meet the SGM. My son is eleven and big into military history. Not sure he knows what a major event is coming his way but I am pretty excited about it. ![]() It was an honor to meet CSM Adkins. I think my son understands how significant an event it was. The room was full of warriors. https://youtu.be/uBiWW82oezsThis message has been edited. Last edited by: fgwilliams1, GW. | ||

I tried to get him a meeting with Gen. Moore before he passed but it never worked out. It's important to pass along our heritage of warriors to the next generation. It's even more critical in today's society that frowns upon strength, principles and a willingness to stand for something when most others won't. GW. | |||

That was heroism. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Amazing man who shares my last name. I don't think we are related but a truly great American. Build a man a fire and keep him warm for a night, set a man on fire and keep him warm the rest of his life. | |||
