Jason and his brother Matt are great kids. Matt is such a rock star. Yesterday he was promoted to Commanding Officer of his high school NJROTC unit. Earlier in the week he finished a marathon in the balmy Orlando 26-degree weather - in just 4 hours 20 minutes. The previous week he received another Congressional nomination to the U.S. Naval Academy. There is no doubt in my mind that he will one day be President, or something better - like Master of the Universe or King of all that is Good and Right in the World. Something like that.
I'm so proud of both of my nephews. Of course, it goes without saying that their father is proud too. I gotta hand it to my brother - he raised some pretty awesome young men.
Jacqui just sent us these pictures. Thank god for the Internet!
We're all praying for their safe and speedy return to the states later this year. Your prayers are welcome!

I'm headed to Leatherneck tonight from Kandahar and came across your blog while researching Leatherneck. It brought me to tears reading about the mother / son reunion. I honor the sacrifices your family has made for my freedom, thank-you.
