As some on here know my son is in the Army. Well we finally got him home from his second trip to Afghanistan. He was awarded a Bronze Star for his work this trip. Not having been in the military myself I'm not sure how big a deal it is for people who have been, but to me I have been busting with pride for him. Thanks for giving me an outlet to brag a little.

Now if we can get all the others such as Dirka home safely. Thank you to all on here who have served or are serving now. God bless you all.

I started this thread quite a while ago about my older son. My younger son has turned out to be a great young man also. He is a Paramedic with EMSA in Tulsa, Ok. Here is what he and his EMT ran into this morning. They did a great Job. I had to brag on him too.

A SALUTE to both your sons of America, Curtis. First responders come in all shapes and forms and are all around U.S. They and are at the very top of the Respect ladder in my book.

Thanks guys.

You are right YB, all of you guys who have answered the call, be it military or the front lines at home have my thanks and respect.

On one hand I was so proud of my son being unarmed and holding a guy on PCP, then on the other hand it scares the crap out of me the places they have to go.

This is an old thread that I started about my son when he was in the military. He has since gotten out as of last 7 July. He has gotten married (which is the main reason he wanted to get out) and was just accepted into Oklahoma State University in there Medical School program. He is going in for his MD in emergency medicine. He is super excited and ready to go. He will start with the new class in August. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Curtis,
Looks like you did an excellent job of raising two fine young men! Congradulations to all of you in your family, after all, it takes everyone pulling in the same direction, and that's no easy task in this day and time. I wish both of your sons continued success in their chosen field. And to your son that was in the military, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! dgh
