History, Politics And Current Affairs

My grandson Malachi just finished his freshman year of college, has been invited to apply to West Point. He has also been approached by the Naval Academy. He's a track star, currently holds the Arizona high school high jump record.

My other grandson Adam has decided to join the Army, seeking to be a heavy equipment operator or diesel mech.

Needless to say, this is one proud grandpa!!!

Congratulations

Congratulations

Congratulations!!

congrats....they grow so fast....you must be so proud of them. Best of luck to them.

Congrats, neat to be able to choose between West Point and the Naval Academy. But the enlisted route is quite the thing as well.
