Dear Lord, please bless Cookie's son and keep him safe (even if that flatlander doesn't understand that the Navy is so much better--all the training, less of the risk). 

Cookie, this old Rabbit extends his congrats with his hat respectfully off.  You must be a proud daddy.

“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

well done - tell him the trick to bootcamp and such is don't try to just pass - try to be the BEST

Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, 60 rounds powder and ball and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

My thanks and appreciation to your sons for the service they give in protecting me and the rest of the country.

And my thanks to you and your families for the burden you bear while your family member is in harms way.

That debt can never be repaid.



Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Cookie, Magoo...

Our military men and women are always in my prayers.  I'll add a special for ya ;).

Tell you sons we are proud to have them as fellow citizens and future vets (especially this old US ARMY DS).

Coast guard, all of the training, even less risk and you go home every night.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Didn't we send some CG units to Iraq for riverine duty? I seem to remember that. Besides which, going out on rescues in 15 foot seas and frigid water is hardly risk free (but you know that better than any of us). I respect and thank all of them.
