Talk about your perfect day! Put a young boy on an Army post...throw in a dress parade, rifle range, air show (complete with skydiving and F-16 flyover), rock climbing wall, patriotic songs, hamburgers and hot dogs... and you've got yourself some happy children! We took the boys to Fort Jackson (about an hour up the road in Columbia) on Saturday and they were just thrilled. (Hank was probably thinking great National Guard material in a few years!?!) Quinn had gone home for the weekend but we still filled up the van with Randy and David, Cortney, and Michael. It was a great way to honor all members of our armed forces, past and present. Hank took a "stroll" down memory lane as he went through the replica of a Viet Nam fire support base (camp). I think he was touched most of all though when we returned home and David asked him, "Mister Hank, can you please teach me to do that salute thing?" It only took a few attempts, and he can deliver it!
