Show of appreciation for a future service man.

[G.Gordon]

I have a nephew that grew up in a tough situation. Despite this life he was handed he is one of the outstanding people I have encountered in my life. He does not curse, is very polite, has a steady girlfriend and they both believe in waiting for marriage for... that. He was an outstanding student and could have gone in any direction he wanted.
Andrew chose to serve. With the high demand for "special" types he went through extensive testing, physical challenges, and endurance trials to test his resolve. He flew past every test like it was a day at the beach. This young man is special, he is slotted for "special" selection in a branch of service we've all heard about lately.

Feel free to distribute this to any you feel will answer this small call of support.

That there is a good apple...the kind of person anyone would be proud to call family. He should be proud of himself, as well. Thanks to young men like him who rise to answer the call and serve this nation!

It is encouraging to see that this young man overcame the circumstances of his life and made choices that will make our country a better place. Most people just blame others for their lot in life and do nothing to better themselves. That is one of the reasons our country has become a welfare state, they expect someone else to take care of them. Congratulations to your nephew and may God watch over him.
