Thank the Lord he made the right choice and thank the Lord for the military. He hadn't signed up he would have been found dead in a ditch by now. I'm proud that he understood his choices and had the strength to make the right choice for his family and himself.I went to his graduation and I couldn't believe my eyes when he came out in his dress uniform. He's a big guy at 6'4 and he stood even taller. When that uniform goes on it's as if he is wearing his heart and soul for the world to see. Everytime someone approached him to thank him he would blush like a little girl, it's so funny to see this big rough tough solider blush! Last time I saw him he thanked me and told me he found his place in the world and that he has never been so happy which maked me even happier!

What a wonderful end to what could have been a tragic story. Not only are you proud of him but so are we. Another life saved by a mother and son who truly care about each other.
Please tell him "Thank you for serving our country!" from me. Yolanda Wood River

I'm glad you are proud of your son. How long have you had this picture? This is a 105mm Howitzer (Artillery piece) that has been retired by the active duty US military. And the cammies are very old style; many years old. The flak jacket and helmet are no longer used by active duty.
I'm confused. Different country? Reserves?
