Thanks to all of you for the well wishes and prayers. I am a VERY proud papa of this son. Growing up he was headed slightly in the wrong direction and then one day he just came up to me and said "Dad....I need to straighten up and get to living better". We had a long talk and I mean long, about what he needed to do to better his life. I dont think he could have made a wiser choice then to have joined the Marines, it did wonders for this now man.
Again...Thank you
