Congratulations....you are understandingly proud of your son.
It was such a pleasure to read of your son’s accomplishments, of your family and, perforce, of you though not necessarily directly.
Your handsome and thoughtful son is an echo of you and your families on both sides and how you all raised him
Congratulations to you all!! I wish him a long and happy life and thank him for being willing to protect us all.
Congratulations.
You have every right in the world to be proud of your brave Marine. Thank him for serving and Thank You for raising such a special individual.
You have my utmost respect.
Very nice. Congrats, Papa, to you and your wife and, of course, to your son. God bless all of you.
Thank you for your service.

Very nice,congrats.
I thank your son.
“Please excuse the gushing vanity. Right now, I have lost my little boy. But I have gained a tremendous man in return. But it is bittersweet.”
Hey, nothing wrong with that. I was proud when my boy made it in 2003. 130 pound kid, had to do the Crucible twice because of extreme heat and low Sodium. He was runner-up for Honor Graduate in his platoon.
Came home in a box from Iraq in January, 2005. It happens.
He was so proud to have qualified as expert on the rifle range despite bad weather and a shortened training. Shot 5 in the black at 500. Not bad for a kid who had never fired an M-16.
I am so sorry for your loss. I fear such a loss would kill me. God bless you.
Awesome News! Congratulations to your son and the whole family. Great pictures. Wish him and you all the best in everything.
Congratulations. I’m sure he’ll do fine.
Me and a buddy were standing in the Naval induction center in Nashville in 68’ when a Gunnery Sargeant walked in. There was a guy in between me and my buddy. It seems the Gunny didn’t have enough people so he went down the line and picked every other man missing me and my buddy. The lamentations reached to the heavens.
Awesome! Blessings and glad he is getting a new CIC!!!
Congratulations to your son.
Thank you to you and your wife for raising this fine young man.
So glad Mattis AND the President will have his back.
God bless your son and the United States of America.
