My brother Rick (age 22 here) served in the U.S. Army for 14 years. We both served in Operation Just Cause, Panama on opposite sides of the country, 1989. I'm proud of him because he has achieved every goal he has set for himself, if you only knew!

My Dad's Uncle Richard joined the Navy successfully when he was 14. When he turned 18 he applied to be an Officer. He served in the Navy for 34 years and 3 wars. My Grand Uncle Richard and I share a kinship of being the only two men in the family that retired from military service. He drove 12 hours to attend my retirement ceremony standing in for my father. I am unbelieveably grateful to him for being there for me on that special day.
