    In the message I sent you a day or so ago, I failed to mention that while my son was on the TR, my son-in-law at the time was a CPO on the USS Montpelier (sub) and was part of the TR's battle group. He retired shortly after his last deployment - Iraqi Freedom - and he and my daughter got divorced shortly afterward - he came back a totally different individual after that tour - and i understand he is still having problems with it. I think his being able to see their missiles hit their targets is what got to him. He's a tough guy on the outside, but a really gentle soul on the inside.

    I, too, am DAMN PROUD of my sailor, Frank. He started enlisted in 1986, went to nuke power school at Ballston Spa, qualified for subs, was on the USS Bremerton as his first assignment '88-'92 I think it was. Went to the Persian Gulf, Back to the Spa for more training for surface ships, went to CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln in Seattle, was in Calif. (forgot the city) for a while, back to the Spa and finished his degree & got his commision. To OTC, then the USS T. Roosevelt - was in first strike group for Enduring Freedom & Iraqi Freedom. Went to the Bremerton Base in WA, was nuclear power regulations officer, and in '08 went back to the Spa and is there now for a few years. I probably have left some things out, but now you can see why I am so proud of him.
