Default Why I'll remember this Memorial Day weekend for a long time...
On Thursday morning, at Fort Benning, Georgia, I got to pin this on my second-lieutenant son's shoulder:

Truly, one of the very best days of my life... and his.

All soldiers selected for Army Ranger training are in the top 20% of their units. With that, only 50% of those who enter Ranger School are able to complete the training.

<b> <small> <i> "Rangers Lead the Way!" </i> </small> </b>

<b> <font color="red"> Happy Memorial Day to everyone, but especially to all Veterans. </font> </b>

Default Awesome! Truly an honor knowing your son is protecting our freedom regardless of your political
affiliation or belief/non-belief in the war.
