Army Training, Sir!

A note from my son this morning with photos:

Here are some pics of me getting the SMI Leadership Award at ourAwards Ceremony. The man presenting is my CO, LTC Flood. The award wasgiven to one Sophomore and one Junior who demonstrated the biggestimprovement in leadership in the past year, instead of a ribbon or somethingthey gave me and the other guy a very nice eagle statue with our names onit. Since I was a new Cadet and now am going to be the third highestranking Cadet in our leadership, they said that was big a big enoughimprovement and gave it to me. Don't be upset that you weren't invited, theceremony was at 6am and lasted about an hour, no one's parents showed up...

Mark, let me just say that have got to be so proud of this young man! I am proud of him for you! You really must have raised him right. If it's not too much trouble, could you pass along congrats and "drive-on" from an old friend of yours who is also an old soldier ....
