Yes I am proud of him. This is the same son I had to hit over the head with a baseball bat in order to get him to open a book in school.
Over the last couple of years he has received a couple commendations. One for his work during hurricane Rita and last year for a difficult rescue that resulted in four peoples lives being saved. And when I questioned him about it, all he said was "it was just another day"
Thanks to everyone for your posts and keep all our service men and women in your prayers for all they do. They are a shining tribute to the greatness God bestowed on our country.
