I've read your account, and the first 50 responses. I'll make my way through the others soon.

Ohio, you have so much to be proud of. Your Eric is an incredible young man. The character, the strength, the ATTITUDE he carries, is a reflection of your and Mr. O's careful nurturing. You have raised him in the "fear and admonition of the Lord," and now you see him bearing fruit in his life.

There's so much I could say. My children are 24, 21, and 19, and each one--by God's grace, not my goodness--is serving the Lord today. My heart overflows with gratitude to the Lord for that---that's why I can empathize with what YOU are feeling.

For Eric, and for his parents, I pray God's continued, richest blessings and his protection and anointing for each day he continues in service to our country.

My heart is just too full to write any more right now....
