I hope you enjoy your day with him. Be sure to take pictures.. I remember 8 yrs. ago when I got to spend graduation day with my son in Ft. Knox. It was great. All that young man wanted was ice cream and fried chicken.
Yes, it is a proud time for you and for him. Hug him tight and tell him how proud all of us are.
God Bless him and God Bless ya'll

I hope you both enjoyed the day and that you told him how much we appreciate what he is doing.

My oldest is home on leave from Iraq this week and I'm enjoying it greatly, especially when he helped me repair some fence. It was great just spending the time with him and asking him for some "war stories". It's very interesting getting an insider's view of what is really going on over there. It's going to be awfully hard letting him go back to finish his tour even though he only has about six weeks to go before he comes home for good.

Congrats! I know when I graduated basic the only things I wanted to eat were fatty and unhealthy. After 9 weeks of healthy food I wanted junk food. Give him a pat on the back and an attaboy for me.

Thanks for all the great comments. Here are the pictures I took. I am very proud. Warpaint missed out on the festivities but was able to be home the next day to see him. He is a proud Step-Dad. He is back home and drilling, finishing last fall semester of school (to graduate) then off to AIT for MOS Training. He applied for Masonery-Carpentry, wanted mechanic, but they were full, but has since thought he would really like Infantry. He is itching to get back into military routine, so I have suspicion he will go active. He is better with strict routines. Say your prayers!

Oh and as far as food goes, he wanted Steak and took us all to eat including my Mom who went with us. First time to be able to do something for the family and has been great since, coming home. Very helpful. They most certainly did help him grow up. Thanks US Army!

Here are photos, this is Family Day with my daughter Krystal, Bryan, Me and my other son Kelly

He always stand at parade rest, no matter what, I almost forgot about that feeling. LOOOOONNNNGGG AAAAGGOOO!
