fixit3546 Posted January 26, 2008 #1 Posted January 26, 2008 I don't wan't to short any of my children. They all make me a proud father. But two of the have put it all on the line, so to speak. Most of you know about Jake and his joining the Marines. (By the way, he left florida tonight headed out to New River S.C to continue his training in his MOS) My Oldest boy has joined the Mississippi Army National Guard (full time) and will be going to boot camp at Fort Jackson S.C. 2/12/08

autopilot Posted January 26, 2008 #4 Posted January 26, 2008 Well, it's a 100% volunteer force these days, so they both went in with eyes open. Takes a man, just for that. I am proud FOR you and though I don't know them, I'm proud OF them. Please tell them that an American veteran and fellow motorcyclist salutes them, thanks them and wishes them God-speed! And thank you, Sir, for giving me a chance to tell them. autopilot
