Many thanks to your son, Shifty.

He's got a sense of humor, he'll do fine :)

God Bless to you and your son. His sacrifice and courage will serve to remind me for the remainder of my life, of those who walk the walk so as to preserve and protect the liberty and freedom we enjoy in America.

Wish him all the best. He deserves more recognition that we will ever be able to give him.

Thanks all of you.

I'm heading back down to BAMC tommorow and I'll pass all of this on. I'm hoping to get him involved in AH once things calm down a bit.

Diablotx, Thank you for hosting the pics sir .

OM, like most fathers I feel I could have been a much better father, and look back on countless mistakes I made.

 I've said before I credit Thomas' grit to Thomas, and his military training. I was down there with him for six weeks during the really bad times. I don't know where his courage and strength came from, but he has way more than his old man is capable of.

Again thank all of you for your post and the support you've shown him since day one.

I would think that the army should provide admin jobs and give priority to the recovered wounded.
