Salute

Postby Randy Tallon » Sun Oct 14, 2007 6:54 pm

Tim - Try this one for me. When you see her give her a salute. Hold the salute until she returns it. I'm sure her response will be "Dad, you don't salute enlisted people." Your response will be,"a salute is a sign of respect. Now, return my salute!" Enjoy her homecoming. We're not sure when we will see Jess again. Maybe Thanksgiving, but, we're not sure. She put her stripe on 1 Oct.

Elvis - A Vietnam Vet Marine friend of mine told me a story of going to see his boy graduate from Marine Boot Camp. When he first saw his boy after graduation he threw a salute at his boy and held it. His boy said that salutes were only for "O's". A Marine Major was standing nearby saw and heard what was going on. The Major told his son that a salute was a "sign of respect, now return your Dad's salute." I haven't forgot that and my daughter got one, too.

My daughter just ran a mini-marathon (12+miles) on her base in Iraq. Told me she ran 10, walked 2, and finished the last part running. Her and I spent time running when she was young. Looks like something sunk in....

Might be my last entry....daughter, Jess, got home from her 3d tour of the AO and starts her final out processing. She had mixed emotions after putting 8 years in. Missing time with her daughter and the prospects of a year in Afghanistan in the next two years sealed the deal. Glad to have her coming home and the family back together.

I know the feeling, Tim. My daughter put 8 years in and I'm glad she's headed home. My 5 year old grand daughter has spent close to 4 of her years with my wife and I. I'll miss having my grand daughter fulltime, BUT, now I can be just a grand dad. I'll shake her up like a can of Pepsi and hand her back to her Mom!!!! :lol:
