The LTC sent this in MS Word and it was all CAPS because that was the way the plates were done for him to deliver the speech...
After Fridays final grad, we had the incredible fortune of my sons company for 3 days and 2 nights, plus his battle buddy from class.
We stayed on base at the Uchee Army Campground [Amazing]. We had two cabins...one for the men, and one for my mother[grandma], my ex-wife [mom]and daughter [sister]...
Also attending were my step son and my son's 2 best friends from high school...
WE WERE NOT DRINKING BEER...OR CHEWING
We caught armadillos and rattle snakes, went fishing and committed some damn fine BBQ...and did I say we did not drink beer?
It was honor being able to spend the weekend with my son and his battle buddy...
HOOAH!
God bless this fine young soldier & your family. May his service to America be long & proud! HOOAH!
