Just saw the thread your father made. I want to send greetings & thanks from Canada. We're about 2 hours from Syracuse; I'm hoping to take my son (he's 9) to a football game there soon. Just wanted to say Canada depends on all your hard work, too. You have friends up here who apppreciate all your efforts. Thank You & take care of yourself.
Your experience in the military will give you great strength, discipline and purpose. Keep up the faith and God will be there along the way. Congrats and give em hell!
There is nothing more noble than what you are about to do. There is also nothing more rewarding. The first time you're not in uniform and you're back home and someone looks you in the eyes and asks you... "You're in the military, aren't you?" you'll understand just how different you are. Good luck and thank you for your service.
