You will now address me as Sergeant! Thanks.
I am so proud.
I never made Eagle Scout, but this will warm me all over as I make my way up the ranks.
My one son, an Army major, is training at Fort Riley, part of the new Army. He will be returning to Afghanistan in mid-January. He always talks highly of his NCO's--and this time, what they have taught him.
I tallked with him recently as he was qualifying with the .50-cal on the HUMVEE. He was never infantry until now, in the 1ID. I am proud to be an NCO. I hope they watch out for him.  |
Congratulations on your promotion, Sarge....Sir! And thank your son for me for his duty, sacrifice and service to this great country of ours! Godspeed to your son and please be safe and take care.
