Happy Birthday to him!

Josh shares a birthday with my dad! Great pictures of Jake, thanks for sharing. I wanted to make sure you know my prayers are with your boys, I thought I commented, but don't see it.

Thanks everyone....I have a couple more to post.....the Major was so impressed with Jake's leadership, he got rewarded with a ride on a Blackhawk....he was really excited...

That's amazing Rhonda! What an experience!

And Happy Birthday to Josh! Hard to believe our boys were only about 9 or 10 when you and I first met! (Bren's 22nd is June 10th).

Thanks for sharing, Rhonda. I know you must be so proud.

Thanks Pam....I really am proud of him....and it keeps getting better.....

How cool, Rhonda! You sure have lots of reasons to be proud!

Thanks Rob....and yes, I do......I have 3 reasons to be proud!!!

oh how nice.

That is awesome Rhonda!!

Way to go, Jacob!

THANKS EVERYONE! Jake arrived home safely on Saturday......Josh headed out on Friday, a day early. They were actually hoping to see each other, to at least wave.....it didn't happen....one got a last minutes transfer flight and they missed each other.....Thanks for the prayers for Jake while he was gone for 4 weeks.....now, for prayers for Josh for his 2 weeks....that is all he signed up for and Jake wishes that was all he signed up for......

Good, glad Jake is back. Josh I'm sure will do fine. Maybe it was best they couldn't wave....it might not have been a good one. lol
A little down time is good. Never hurt anyone.

Glad to hear Jake is home safe and sound. Prayers going up now for your 'baby'! (well, 'other' baby. ).

Good news! I'll be praying fot Josh now...But I knw he'll be home in no time, just like his brother is!

Just now seeing this, since I have not been here since March.

Awesome pictures and the video was great, too.

Your boys are something to be REALLY proud of! I thank them for their service.

Wow, a ride on a Blackhawk! And an Army Achievement medal.

Congratulations to Jake and Josh and their proud mama!

Thanks Alice....and come around more often, we've missed you!

Thank you, Rhonda I need to stick to my word when I say I will be here more then I have been.

Even when I have had a bad day, tired because I could not sleep the night before, worried about everything,It always makes me feel better when I come here.

Sorry about what is going on in your life......Perhaps this will help a bit....I have to keep reminding myself of it too....

Wow Rhonda, I really really love that. As the known 'worry wart' of the family, I have been trying to work more on this.

That's a great quote, Rhonda! And so true...
