    Better than 'Happy Birthday!'

    Good news I have to share with WAF friends...

    My son is officially being discharged from the US Army TODAY! He'll be here this evening at his new, and permanent, duty station.

    Very excited about it!

          This is my son, Jonny, the day before he went into the Army many years ago. And, a photo at Arlington's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He's the guard with his back to the camera, his first 'walk'.

            Congratulations Robert! Great news indeed

            Where was his stationed abroad?

            I was discharged last year from the Argentine army due to heart problems, but it was a good experience.

            Regards,
            Sepp.

                Thanks everyone! Thanks for your service, Sepp.

                His 1-year o/s duty was in Africa with the 3rd Infantry (Old Guard). Their mission was to build fresh water wells for the natives in Ethiopia and Uganda. He took leave to raft down the Nile River at the peak of its water flow. His mom almost had a heart attack when she saw the photos he e-mailed to her.

                      Thanks Jon for the kind words.

                      A blessing in disguise...

                      He was assigned to a Striker Brigade here in WA State two years ago. Injuries to his back while in Africa resulted in him not being physically fit to be sent to combat with his unit to Afghanistan a year ago. His unit got hit pretty hard while in Afghanistan, and my son missed being a part of it. Thank God for that, is all I can say. God moves in mysterious ways.

                              I sense a huge relief and a great deal of pride in this thread, and rightly so. It great news. I hope his back doesn't trouble him. Thank him from us for his service to his country, and a host of other countries as well.
