Bigpops Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Good morning all. Just returned from University of Kansas. Watched my son graduate and get commisioned in the USMC. He asked me last summer to give him his first salute. After 20 years of service and 7 years of being retired.....this was the proudest salute I ever rendered. (the tears were photoshopped out) Edited May 22, 2009 by Bigpops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
