My oldest just joined the Army today! He's going to the Fort Benning School for Boys and becoming an Infantryman this summer, then on to Airborne school. I'm pretty positive that he will go to Fort Bragg afterwards.

I'm really proud of him, he had to fight through a lot of issues to get to this point, but he was determined to get it done.

Salute!!! Wow, I bet you are beaming with pride! It's a very proud moment when a dad sees his son step-up to be a yooung man.

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
