And so it gets more serious….
He turned 20 in February. Growing so fast…..enjoying life to the fullest. Bought himself a fast (and very nice) car and fielding the ladies like an old pro (wink, wink) grows his whiskers when he is on leave and loves his little brothers more than ever! Still a sucker for a laugh and usually the guy in the group that evokes the most laughter out of the whole group. Still hates it when I kick his butt go-cart racing (don’t listen to his claims that he LET me win!) A true American kid coming in to his own and figuring out this life and where he wants it to take him. A mother’s dream–a happy, healthy, polite well-adjusted kid.
He just turned 20 in February. Drives a government issued Tahoe and has his K9 partner Buck riding shotgun. Straps his knives and guns on before he begins his shift. Tries to keep some sense of reality with all that he sees while performing his duty to this great nation. Keenly aware of his surroundings and constantly has an eye for safety and security. VOLUNTEERED for his upcoming tour to ‘the sandbox’. Uncle Sam’s dream–a patriotic kid with a real sense of duty, who believes we ask not what our country can do for us but we can do for our country, who takes his liberties and freedoms seriously enough to lay his life on the line for it.
That’s what this blog is about……..reconciling the two young men you read about above.
Both boys any mom would be proud to call their son, both boys are one in the same—my first born son of whom I am most proud.
I don’t mind if you forward it along at all! I wasn’t sure how else to let you know it was okay other than commenting on this entry. If you want to pass it along more, it’s been dugg, so you can digg it here: http://digg.com/people/Advice_For_My_Son .
Your son seems to be a brave one. Hope all turns out well for him!
I will definitely keep him in our prayers along with the others, and especially for you. We had a lot of great times together in our teenage years.
