My son enlisted (delayed entry) in the U.S. Army yesterday! He will be follow in the old man's footsteps and, God willing, become a member of the 82ND AIRBORNE!
Thanks for the kind words!
Be sure to add your son to our FR prayer lists for members and member's active duty family members.
God speed.
Congrats; A Fort Bragg welcome to him when he gets here.
Thank God that men arise to defend the nation when we need them.
Keep the Merry Band of Patriots informed please.
Cheers!
Thanks patriciaruth! The Scouts are going to be working on Christmas cards this Tuesday. I'm hoping to send some to Walter Reed also, but we'll be sure to send some overseas too.
BTW, my nephew and his wife have a new baby girl!
Cool! Good luck to him.
Is this the same one who plays ice hockey?

I've got 2 sons and they both play hockey.
This one is 21 and plays both goalie and left wing. In fact he plays on two different teams and both are in playoff games this Monday.
Please thank your sone for me & my daughters!
AIRBORNE! Good to the last drop!
Today's generation really has stepped up and answered the call. America's next heroes!
Yeah, i read somewhere most branches are meeting their recruiting goals.Damn good news.
Is that "new" baby girl a couple months old?
Congrats, blessings and prayers for your son!
So I guess you knew already.
Have you seen pictures of her too?
WOO-HOO!!! Congratulations to both of you!
My grandson went off to Boots in August, and is currently stationed at Ft. Lewis.
He loves it! As soon as the Rangers open up again, he's on the list.
God Bless the USA and all her brave sons and daughters!
