It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Semper Fi and oooorah and for those of you that aren't that knowledgeable of the military, Force Recon is the Marine Corps equivalent to the Navy Seals and like the Navy Seals it is very difficult to become part of their little group.

Congratulations to Joe Jr, along with a big Thank You for his service, and for going Force Recon on top of that! My hat's off to him, and to Danielle for keeping the home front covered while he serves. Thanks for sharing, Joe. You have good reason to be very proud.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Congratulation to your son and to you as a parent, you and your wife did a great job of parenting Joe Jr. My nephew was in training to become a Seal in the Navy in the 80's he went as far as he could go then he had to ring the bell. Not very many can go the distance.

Thanks everyone & to top it off he did it w/a torn ACL in his right knee.
One of his buddies who is a Lieutenant's & doctor checked him out & told him his injury would have ended an athlete's career & then asked how long ago it had been since he did it. Joe told him it happened 3yrs ago in Iraq .
The doctor looked at him & said "You did this 3yrs ago & then went through Recon. You have got to be one Tough & Crazy MF'r"....joeDonate Blood,Plasma,Platelets & sign your DONORS CARD & SAVE a LIFE

Congratulations. Thank him from us too! Good looking couple! Wish them many happy years ahead. My brother serves as a Dr. in the Army. We know what it is like to have a loved one risk their lives for us and our country, and appreciate his service.Last edited by stovens; 05-08-2010 at 09:36 AM.

I had to go to the doctor's this morning. He told me that my sugar was too high so I came home and put it on a lower shelf. I feel better already.
