I Could Bust A Button!!!
I had a very special privilage this week. My eldest son, 8 yrs in the Army, A Combat Airborn Medic, 2 tours in Iriq, was commissioned a 2nd LT. I got to pin his new bars on his coat. I could bust a button.
BTW, I'm the one on the left...

Thanks much - I'm sending him this link - His brother is in the Army also and has done one tour in Iraq. What more could a father ask of his sons?

I know how you feel. I got to swear my daughter in when she graduated from Navy OCS as a new Ensign. Very proud moment.

May I buy you some buttons? A man like your son may cause the loss of a few more.
Congrats to you and your son, and thank him from my family and I.

I sent him this link and he things it was "cool"
I sat in church yesterday listening (Yesterday was All Saints Day BTW) - The sermen spoke of kids breaking glass in a building and how it made the news because of who's building it was, and how it effected the people who work there. But, as the sermen went, the news did not mention the many house spent cleaning up the glass from the street, or the hard work replacing the glass at night. My son is no saint, (although he is an Oblate of the Benedictine Order) - He is quietly cleaning up glass in the night and that makes me proud - ohhh there went another button ...
