|
My son came home today for his downtime. We picked him up at 7:10 AM at Great Cincinnati Airport. And to his mother and my surprise our other son Gary was in tow. Seems that the Capt. Arnett let both of them come home at the same time for there downtime. We where shocked, and found out they both knew that both where coming home for over 2 weeks and they wanted to surprise us. Well they did! Now where in the quick shopping mode of buying all his gifts for Christmas, birthday and everything else for our family get together tomorrow( wife is jumping up and down in the kitchen making another birthday cake). I will post pictures of them with us tomorrow and post some pictures of them with the oil some where so grateful to donate to them for there needs. I have a few minutes to set down there believe it or not out on the range shooting the Mosin Nagants and having a blast. I got away to just set back and smile. My family is whole again. Maybe for a short time but it feels good.

This is good, really good. May we all remember those that are in harm's way to protect and defend the rest of us. May we always continue to honor this nation's warriors. My warmest and sincerest wishes to you and yours, Duce.

Ditto from an old South Texas warrior. There's not many of our breed left.
