Good photo.

Thanks. Because it was a digital camera, we ended up with a ton of photos. When I was going through them all, that one shot just grabbed me by the throat and the tears started all over again. Like I said, I am downright jealous of Megan and her ability to take photos that are really interesting and moving.

My son is now at School Of Infantry-East, at Camp Gieger, next to Camp Lejeune, NC. He is graduating there on the 24th. He loves the challenge and is proud to serve.

I am proud of my son, the Marine.
