Congrats goes out to Paul for all his hard work in achieving so much early in his young life! What an Honor it is to have this Sailor as our Sailor of the Week!! As a Wrestling Family ourselves we understand what it takes to be a true wrestler and the hard work involved, and to make the Deans list on top of that and to be recognized and accepted into the National Honor Society means you want to succeed in life and you will go far!
In becoming a Golden Shellback is a great honor to carry also. My husband is an honorable Shellback however he did not get the opportunity to make Golden Shellback! To have crossed the international dateline and equator at the very exact time is awesome ! Congrats to you Paul!! Congrats to your Family for raising a fine young man!!
