Son Left this morning at 4:00AM for a new navel assignment on the USS Stout out of Norfolk Va. He has been in Italy for 2 years and got to come home for about 10 days. About the only thing he wanted to do was eat some crawfish and water-ski.
Water was finally down enough yesterday to get him on the water. Boat ran fine plus we were the only boat on the lake except for 1 pontoon. Highly unusual for a holiday weekend. Any way, sad to see him go. If any of you guys up that way see a Silver GMC Extended cab Pickup with MS. plates on the side of the road pick him up and take him to a rental place. His old truck has 250,000 miles on it and he will not even think of trading it in. I know millions of parents, wives, & children, go through this every day but his mom and I are truly grateful all our military personnel. Having him home on Memorial Day weekend was special. Sorry for the length of this just need to vent somewhere. Thanks.
