The post was better before you deleted some of it. Papa has good reason to be proud!

...I was at the Gun Range yesterday and their was this very Old Vet. A red hat that said USMC and Korea/Viet Nam. He was with a very young lady about in her teens. She was helping him shoot. I had to take the time to thank him for his service...You know she was proud.

That's a really nice story. My Dad was both a Korean(navy) and Vietnam(army) veteran also. He passed away with his hat on several years ago. A very proud patriot who raised his children the same. Good luck to your son and God Bless him!

The saying while I was in the Navy was, "The toughest job in the Navy was being a Navy wife."

My wife can attest to that, and I would say most of the married guys agreed with that statement. I know I did.

I saw a few guys get those “Dear John” letters when in the Persian Gulf. Testament that it was just too hard for some wives, or too lonesome. I do agree that it must be tough for them. I would not enjoy it were it the other way around. Heck, my wife just spent 2 days at a resort with her girlfriends who were in town visiting. That sucked. I can tell you though, I learned that my dog seems to enjoy a bit of beer just as much as I do!

Just thought I would share this. My son has been in Iraq now since the last post. I received a letter yesterday from Command Central. (actually addressed to him) A personal letter from the General to him commending him for his work in setting up a aid Station and the work he has done there. (He is a combat medic). In the past he has told me many times about the station that he set up, a old steel truck container and how he works there for hours. He is quite proud of his little Container.

For a Command Gen. to send a personal letter to a enlisted man say's a whole lot about the General.
May God Bless America.

You raised an exceedingly fine young man.
God Bless you both.
