One of us absolutely had to be there, so my husband stayed with me until the next day and then flew home and then drove 15hrs to Fort Jackson. Quite a bit of juggling we had to do there. I am so proud. Can you imagine that little bitty thing carrying an M16? Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

When my son graduated and got his "Lieutenant Bar", I fought back tears the whole time. That first salute killed me. BUT I AM SO PROUD of him and what he's become. You are, too, I am sure!

My late sister served in the Navy during the Viet Nam era. It is scary, but I truly feel God will guide her. My friend who is the director of The Red Cross says there will be a possibility that she will be called to service. But more likely to take an administrative position to relieve someone else to go.
