My son's high school years were tough, so when he joined the Army and we went to Ft Benning for his graduation I was thrilled to give him a hug and say, "I'm proud of you." And even now, 25 years later, I choke up when I remember him replying, "I'm proud of me, too."

I'd say "You Must Be So Proud!" but, knowing you, I have a pretty good idea how damn proud you are, and I salute you both for carrying on the tradition of military families.

OK I got a wee bit choked up reading. I tend to be cynical about the state of today and today's military. Mainly, mostly, pretty much all about the leadership. Thanks. Good on yer, good on him, good on all the graduates!

Outstanding! So happy for him (and you). He looks more..."focused" is the only word I can think of. Even from the photos, I can see that he is more dialed in, straighter, and purposeful. I'm really excited for him and am looking forward to future reports!

Whishing him the Best of Luck.

Thank you for *your* service. It is not easy to watch any child grow up, and even less easy to watch them make the military choice especially in troubled times. it's a hard choice and a good one.
