Life has been moving at mach speed for me lately so as usual I haven't been on the forum much. I just HAD to take time to share a bittersweet bright spot though, especially after everyone here offered so much advice and support (thanks again guys you don't how much you really helped me deal with this).
Below is a picture of two of my personal heroes, LTC(ret) Oliver North and my brother now proudly serving in the Army Veterinary Corps, stationed at Camp Leatherneck, Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
P.S. His last name is different than mine but I promise he is my brother!
