Most of those guys are the age of my son so they remind me of him and his friends.
I don't have access to many good examples personally, so I'm always lamenting the way our young behave. My kids are still fairly young, so I have hope. But, hearing about your son and seeing fine examples like that young pilot and knowing of others is very encouraging. This country produces greatness. It produces bad stuff too, but the good ones are worth it all, aren't they?
