Today is Gary Jr.’s 18th Birthday.  On June 12th he graduates from EHS.  On June 30th, he ships out to boot camp in GA.  He has wanted to be a soldier since he was a kid, has been a ‘future’ soldier for the last year, and has been accepted for advanced training already.  I am positive he will shine!  I am very proud of him.  He has become a fine young man, one fit to excel in anything he decides to do.

Above is a slideshow of Gary through the years.  I have added more pictures from today to the end of slideshow.

Well, we had a BBQ of Chicken, Ribs, Hot Dogs and Garlic Red Potatoes, followed by cake and ice cream, of course.  Some of Gary’s closest friends came by as did his sweetie Kate.

I had a day I will always remember!
