Subject: How times Have changed

Pat
My Son Joshua Poss recently graduated from The Great Lakes Naval Training Center Chicago Illinois. My wife, Kelli and I attended his graduation and spent the weekend in downtown Chicago. At least 6 strangers came up to him and shook his hand and said, "Thank You For Serving". It brought back memories of me being in downtown Monterey California for the weekend, only I did not have anyone shake my hand. I felt the pride of not only a father but of an American Veteran. It was very emotional to see Americans once again appreciate the service of our young men and women. Our Son Josh felt extreme pride in his Service to this great Nation.
