Ken Graduates as a Marine

entry type: 

Anne, Aurora, and I had the great honor to share in Ken's graduation from boot camp last week. I've posted a few pictures on-line for friends and family to enjoy. I hope to have a video posted from some of the highlights when I can.

I'm impressed at Ken's decision to do this, and he makes a fine Marine. He does a great honor in serving for our country. Well done!

I'm very proud of you, Kenny!

I have a picture of you and Trey with grandma sitting at the table when we were camping and looking at that picture of when the both of you when ya'll were small and now looking at the both of you, Wow! How time flies. Your a Marine and Trey's a daddy. I'm very proud of you. I pray that no weapon formed against you shall prosper in anything you do. I pray that the Lord will always bring you home safe. I love you very much Kenny. Love Aunt Lisa (Florence, SC)
