Today I had the distinct pleasure and pride to watch my son Brandon salute a commanding officer as we crossed the Navy base. I have also watched how other people-strangers-react to his presence. Many have come up to him and shook his hand while thanking him for his service to his country. As tomorrow is the 4th of July his service is even more important. At his graduation the Admiral said that the 691 sailors in front of us were "volunteering" to serve their country. How very special it is to see these young men and women make this choice.
I have had time to talk with Brandon and I know that God has guided him to this career. May God continue to guide him each step of the way.
To all who have served our country and to all who will serve I thank you. God bless America!!!
