And "ForgotenKnight," grandson of Monkey Face, recently deployed with a Stryker unit to Afghanistan.
Other FReepers with children (grandchildren, nieces and nephews, etc.) in the military, please join us in celebrating all our family members who are serving our country in the military.

Thanks! Looking forward to your pictures. I won’t have any until DP and Bill get home on Sunday night.
The Don-os were there just last fall with a son.

Choked up like a baby.
Prayers to all freeper families that have loved ones in uniform.

Congratulations to her, TC! That is just WONDERFUL!
To: Tax-chick
Congratulations to Anoreth from a fellow NCer. May she have calm seas and following winds...but I suspect the North Pacific/Bering Sea may not cooperate much in that regard!
My eldest son has a year of HS left but is enlisting in the Army as a medic as soon as the waiver (for NON-existent holes in his eardrums) comes through.

Good luck! There was some fuss over Anoreth’s having had her tonsils out, when she was 9, but the recruiter got it sorted out. He got a bonus for her: a girl, American Indian, with 30 hours of college.
