Hard to put into words how proud I am/we are of his decision. After a false start on leaving last week and plane cancellations yesterday, he finally swore his Oath this morning and just took off for Parris Island with 5 other recruits. His mother is sure to be a wreck for the next 13 weeks, lol. Completing boot camp is no easy task, but I fully believe that he will emerge on the other side as a new man and great Marine! God Bless all of them!!!
On a side note, the Captain John J. McKenna, IV Military Courtesy Room at Albany Airport is an outstanding place for military personnel and their families to relax and watch the planes take off and land. A portion of a beam from the Twin Towers stands as a somber reminder to all of what it means for our military men and women to protect and defend our great nation.
