My wife's son, his service to our country.

Well being retired US Navy myself (20+ years) I can say that I support our troops no matter what the case. Most are just trying to make a living like the rest of our country, and some really enjoy what they are doing for our country. Most do not like being sent places like Iraq or Afganistan to fight, but that is the nature of the job. I am proud of any young man or woman who sacrifice their own way of life to be a part of supporting our country in whatever branch they may serve. One of our 8 kids is serving in Qautar at the moment and we could not be prouder of his efforts and his accomplishments for our country, and for his own career goals. We can only hope for all of them to make it home safely and that they acquire some level of success while serving our great nation. Commiting 20 years to anything is not an easy decision to make for anyone, let alone a 18 to 20 year old young adult. We have to give them credit for having the drive for that kind of success in mind.

Thats pretty impressive. After reading that there isnt any reason why
yourself, and especially the wife couldnt be proud of his acomplishments!
Hopefully when my yougsters mature they will have the drive to be the best that they can at what they do like your step son!
