Today I honor all those who served, from my family and the thousands of others who gave of their time and some their lives to this country.Two pictures of my son of whom I am and always have been very proud.
When he was 3 he told me he wanted to drive a tank, his favorite movies have always been military/service oriented, even the sci/fi ones.
He wads in the ROCT program during H.S. and entered the Army and was sent to Afghanistan.
He has always tried to be the best person he can be, followed the rules (mostly) and does his best, every time.
despite his becoming a 27 year old grown ass man, I still see this little punk.
Every. Single. Time.
It makes me smile and my eyes leak at the same time.
Wow, focused since he was 3 and doing what he loves now. Most of us never know that gift. How long has he been enlisted? Does he plan to be there 20 years?
