See ya later buddy !

Gotta say see ya later to my little man tomorrow. It's gonna be a while til we have boots in the house again.

Fair winds and following seas. Semper Fi !!!

Feeling sad but filled with pride.

 

You've done well my friend.

 

Give him a hug and tell him you love him.
Praying for your family tonite pql1.

 

I thank you for your sons service pql1 . He's a fine looking boy and that picture you posted is a good one. It won't be long, boots in the house again.

 

Come on .... he's no little man anymore. He's got his "Bloddstripe"!! Congrats on the lean, mean, fighting machine.

 

Thank you for raising a fine young man that decided to serve his country and protect our freedoms! Praying for you and your family and wishing him the best!

 

You must be so proud.

 

May God hold him in the palm of His hand.
Thank you for your son and thank him for his service.

 

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts everyone, it's very heartwarming.

One last thought, does it make me a bad dad if I keep thinking something orange with the letters xp on it might make me feel better...

 

If it gently reminds you of your boy and makes you happy, ABSOLUTELY!!!!

 

I know, he's a Marine !!!

 

Thank him for his service .be safe hoorah.

 

He and his brother did get me my first orange saw

 

I'm sure if you do get this saw, pictures of you and the saw at work would be a nice surprise in the next care package you send his way.
