I think it's a great addition to the thread. There's something about a Daddy returning home from a lengthy deployment holding his newborn in his arms for the first time... it just gives me a lump in the ol' throat.

I'm getting verklempt.

Great photos by all of you! Thank you.

I love that picture..I had that one a long time..I wanted a better(group) reenlistment picture,too, to use in a graphic. Like this..

U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker administers the oath of enlistment to 22 U.S. soldiers assigned to 1st Brigade Combat Team and Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, during a reenlistment ceremony at Camp Taji, Iraq, April 19, 2006.


*Thank You*

Those crossed swords look awfully familiar.

I am enjoying my brief respite from the land of the crossed swords. ;-)

At this moment, I'm disgusted...It ain't every day that 640 folks step up and volunteer to die, if need be, for their Country.

No it's not an every day event...but it has happened repeatedly in the history of the country. Every war, every conflict where America has skin in the game has brought out the best in American spirit.

Yes I'm damn proud of the 3rd ACR. Just as I'm proud of the Rangers who unlisted after Somalia and the 101st troopers who reenlisted after the horrific plane crash killed four HUNDRED of their brothers in a tragic accident.

I'm proud of those Texans who "remembered the Alamo and Goliad" at the Battle of San Jacinto. Ten minutes to wipe out the Mexican army, while Santa Ana tried to squirm away from the battle dressed as a woman.

I'm proud of MacArthur who got booted in bloody fashion from Correggio and still he returned to kick A$$ and take names.

I'm proud of the policemen and firefighters who rushed into the burning Twin Towers to save their fellow Americans and then died for their efforts.

I guess I'm just damn proud of this country and I'll bet I'm not alone...although you seem to think YOU are all alone in lauding the efforts of these magnificent soldiers. We who carry our love for them in our hearts 24/7/365 see no need to bray it out to the world on an event driven basis.
