The wife and I spent the weekend in Austin where our Son Jake made a Parachute jump for his Yellow Ribbon Ceremony, He is headed out for Afghanistan this time he went to Iraq for a year two years ago. I sure hate to see him go but at least we are getting our Baby Boy home from Iraq on this comming Saturday he has been there the last 10 months. I believe our oldest is going to Afghanistan in January, he is a Hellicopter Pilot. Laurie and I sure are proud of them. Attached is a link to a News interview of my wife and fellow Hog Dogger. I thought she was pretty hot on TV. After all she is a 47 year old GRANDMOTHER of 4  Please Pray for Jake he has a tough year ahead of him. :'( http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kxan.com%2Fdpp%2Fmilitary%2Fcamp-swift-soldiers-deploy&h=970cb |

Godspeed to Jake and thank them both from all of us for sure! As I know we will all pray for them and all other soldiers and their loved ones who are fighting their own battles while they wait patiently for the safe return of their loved ones.
Sincerely

Thanks for all the kind words, I cant help but think about soldiers all the time, 3 of our 5 sons are soldiers, my wife was a medic in the Army, and I am a retired wounded warrior! I wish I could go on one more deployment, but my wife tells me all the time "Honey you have passed the tourch, its thier time now" but it sure is hard to watch them walk away knowing it will be a long time before you see them again. Jake is also my camera man, and video editor, I hope his little brother can pick up where he left off......lol

Paul, you and your wife did a great job raising those boys and you sure have to be proud of them for serving our great country. Like you said, sometimes I wish I could go on one more tour but we can't. We will keep your sons in our prayers and My God Bless Them and Protect Them. Keep in touch and if there is anything we can do just let us know. Thanks Glenn and NormaJean

Our prayers will be with your sons as they are for all those who serve our country.
I think most of us (myself included) take for granted sometimes the freedom that we have and what it takes to be free. The sacrifice is high and I have much respect for anyone and everyone who fights for our freedom......
