You did good Boomer! That's the point in being a parent...raise them right so they can spread their wings and become great adults too. You hate to see them go, but...
and nothing better than the military. Don went to Great Lakes when he joined the Navy. I think he really liked it there but liked San Diego better. He was on an aircraft carrier.
And as you all know, our youngest son joined the Air Force. Still serving and is now based in Las Vegas for a couple years. That's really a long way from us now, and its hard not getting to see him and the family as much as we used to.
That's another plus to Facebook, Skype, etc...didn't have those wonderful sights when WE were young!!
Tell your son we are so proud of him and his service and thank him!
