Got a real surprise in the mail today from the Department of the Army.  Makes a Dad proud when his son receives something like this:

You are rightfully proud.  It won't be in shiny cars or deepness of pockets that I will judge my success as a father but by the fruit of his character.  Your son has plenty.
