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:

Chris Surtees is always one of the first to step up and help here or anywhere else. he is about a good a representative of Traditional as can be found.

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.
Congrats and Thank You and Christopher.
