Out The Door

My grandson just headed off to his first national guard drill. Basic is in February then he has about 8 months of special computer school in Arkansas.

I feel downright ancient this morning! I know it will be too damned quiet around here.

It gets quiet...then the great-grand children come (8^D). Thank your grandson for us all, and hang in there.

Blessings to you and your family. You’ve done right by all of us, as any family has that raises yet another patriot willing to defend our nation.

We talked about that. I had reservations but he has wanted this since he was a little kid.

I'll keep fighting the bastards to my last breath, whatever I can do.

I’m with you. My son left for Marine boot camp on Monday and this week as been very quiet and emotional. He’s following in his father’s footsteps and we are very proud of him, but it seems to have happened way to quickly. Congratulations and thank you for your families dedication to freedom.

Gerry has been getting ready all through high school, physical training, JROTC, the works. He should be set to really roll.

I told him to just make sure he came out with training that would transfer to civilian life.

Congratulations! You must be so proud. My son is USMC and I’m retired AF. If the election won’t keep you busy enough, go to anysoldier.com and pick out some of our nation’s finest to bless with your strength, optimism and material support. The fight doesn’t end when we take off the uniform, right? “Support, protect and defend the Constitution” has NO expiration date. We all need you in the fight. BTW-always enjoy your postings. You’re a true Patriot!
