........My son's (Nick) last day in the military is today, 29 years of service.
I told him when he enlisted (delayed entry program while still in HS), that if I'm still around, I'd put together his shadow box. Well, that day has come.
He dropped off a box of uniform items and such, so now I have to see how I can form a nice display to include both E and O careers.
I'm very proud of his accomplishments, high speed as enlisted with tours in Korea, Serbia, Kosovo, then OCS, Blackhawk pilot and UH60 company commander, 2 tours in Iraq (one company CO, the other as S3), plus unnamed other areas. He followed my dad's career Army foot steps.
The challenge of putting this together will be very rewarding to me, hope to have it together in a few weeks. Will followup with the completed box.
