Darn it, you made me get all weapy. I love our military so much that it doesn't take a whole lot.

I drove down to San Diego on the 23rd of October to see NTFDAY (Ken's) grandson graduate from Marine Boot Camp. There were six hundred and six brand new Marines standing at attention, with a huge Old Glory swaying gently in the breeze. It was almost more than I could handle. I didn't say anything to Ken or his daughter, but I was so proud of those fine young men that it wouldn't have taken much for me to bawl.
