Thanks all

Good evening one and all,

My apologies for not posting much in retirement but my lack of participation doesn't mean you all have been away from my thoughts.

I thought I would share this with you all because I knew you'd know what it means. The Army transferred our kids back to Fort Sam Houston in November and were supposed to have housing for them. Well they have been in a hotel since 10 November and it has taken a toll on their 7 year old who has special needs. He is here with us for 2 weeks going to school here while his brother waits on updating his shots and mom and his brother and sister move in with us so they have a stable house to live in until the Army can get them quarters.

Yesterday I took him to our local Veteran's Park that is just down the road from us. He was always interested in the park because of the dust off Huey and as we went though all the monuments he paused and read each plaque aloud to me. I then took him to the Vietnam memorial and introduced him to my cousin who I last saw the night before he shipped out and I was about the same age as my grandson is when I last saw him.

We also came across this monument dedicated to the men of the Special Forces and I immediately thought about all my friends here.

Take care my friends and know you are appreciated.

Kevin
