I tried to tell him to wait and avoid summertime. But, the boy had his mind made up and it’s a done deal now. Graduation - about a month off - then the yeller footprints
“...then the yeller footprints”
“GET OFF MY BUS!!!”
yellow footprints.. oh man.. a lot of good men and women have stood on them.. and some stinkers too.. tell him to keep quiet and be alert and eat what they feed him.. and behave. ;-)
When he marches at graduation, that’s when he has made it and can be called a United States Marine.. Good luck!
I remember graduation day well. sigh
Bless you for being the father of this fine young man. Give him my thanks.
