Well, I think we're all crying now.
You're raising a fine man. Give this Marine and family a big hug from us as well. We're thinking of them, praying for them, and doing our best to fight for them here at home. Thanks for sharing this with us.
After the HERO left... I sat back and thought a bit and I started to tear up some myself ... and thought to myself what I ever did to deserve a son like I had... and I still have not answered that ?... he does go to a public school and is in 4th grade... but I guess I am blessed to live in a very special little town... the public schools are GREAT here!
I dont think I will ever forget this day as long as I live. You just had to be there... I dont think anything will match this day... my son said he couldnt wait to go to school Monday and tell everybody he talked with a US Marine... he got on the phone and called eveyone he could think of to tell.
He told me he couldnt wait till Monday to met the Marine.. and I ask him how excited he was to met him...And he said almost as much as Christmas coming up. I about hit the floor!!!!
GOD ITS GREAT TO BE A FATHER!!!!
