View Full Version : Proud Father
Very proud to say my son arrived at Ft. Benning yesterday. If all goes well come the end of June he will be a 19D. Raised him on my own since age 7. I think he made a good choice.

Sounds like you raised a good man. Please offer him my thanks for his service.
Congratulations. My middle kid is a brand new infantryman out in Colorado - its very satisfying to watch one of your young'uns take a big step on their own.
Congratulations! Certainly a proud Dad moment!
Thank him on my behalf for stepping up to the plate.
Congratulations to your son and the proud Pop
:D
At my son's commissioning ceremony about a year and a half ago, I told my wife and her mother not to embarrass my son by crying as they pinned on his 2LT bars. They were fine. I subsequently stood and moved into position to render him his first salute (as a former enlisted soldier). As I did so, I got "Congratulations, Lieutenant ....." and lost it before I could get back to my seat. My wife and mother-in-law have yet to let me live it down. :D
Congrats to the other Dads on here.
Congratulations! Good for him and for all those sons and daughters who serve.
