This evening our Congressman hosted a reception honoring all of the local Service Academy appointees that he nominated. Yes, Mr. A was one of the appointees honored. In all there were five going to West Point (Army), three going to the Naval Academy, one to the Air Force Academy, and one to the Merchant Marine Academy.
Mr. A met the Congressman. He received a certificate, his very first challenge coin, and an American flag that's flown over the US Capitol Building. How cool is that?
Every day that passes I become prouder and prouder of my eldest son.

Wow! He will have quite a collection of coins before he is done. So proud for him and for you and S. Hard to believe this is the same kid that use to run around my living room with L. Now I have to look up at both of them for more than just their height.
Woohoo! Congratulations!
He's so handsome!
I would be so proud too. What a wonderful thing!
You have MUCH to be proud of. MUCH.
