Happy Memorial Day - Celebrating Our Grandson and His Graduation from the Naval Academy!

Memorial Day is truly a day to celebrate our young men and women serving our country!

We recently traveled to Chicago to celebrate the graduation of our number two grandson from the naval academy in Great Lakes. He wants to be a navy seal.

It was a special experience, and I wanted to share a few photos along with patriotic music to honor him and all of those serving our country.

Teri - As a 23 year Navy veteran I am always proud to see the fine young men and women graduate from Boot Camp there at the Great Lakes Naval Station. I wish your Grandson the best of luck during his Naval career.

Teri - You must be so proud of your grandson. He is a very special young man and I applaud him on his decision to further his training as a Navy Seal. My nephew graduated back in January from the Naval
Academy in the Great Lakes and is now stationed in Jacksonville Florida. Please give my heartfelt thanks to your grandson for his service.

Teri - what a nice tribute to your son and so many others we honor this day. Sorry I bothered you on your trip to Chicago ut glad we were able to connect. Enjoy the rest of the holifay.

Dan, thank you so much - not only for serving our country but for your comment. ;-)

Donna, congratulations to you as well. I enjoyed this experience and also enjoyed putting the photo story together. ;-)

That is great news Terri! I hope you and your family had a terrific Memorial Day weekend.

Jeff, you're never going to let me live that one down, are you? ;-) I've answered every call nicely since then - much to my chagrin at times.

Thanks, and so glad you enjoyed the tribute. ;-)

Bill, thank you...it was a wonderful experience. Watching the face of my nine year-old grandson looking up at his big brother was priceless....;-)

We can never say Thank You enough. You must be very proud.

Teri,

Of all your posts, this just might be my favorite one of all time! How sweet! Love the video with such great pics that show so much emotion! I know you are proud of him and I know he must love you very much, too! I'm so glad you shared this tonight.

Terry, you're right. Thank you, I am proud....;-)

Jan, why thank you. It was an emotional, but very rewarding tribute for me to prepare. ;-)

Teri, No question that is a grandson to be proud of. This has been an emotional Memorial for me as our son just got out of the Army. His Army experience has given me a new appeciation for Memorial day.

MAY

Teri, Congratulations on this achievement of your grandson. My son is a cadet as West Point - the military academy. I am always awed by these young people who choose to serve our country and put their lives on the line for us in a time of war. God bless your grandson and your family!

Teri, it is an amazing experience isn't it.

I was there twice last year, once in February and once on Memorial Day last year.

I cried, was so proud of both boys and the history was so incredible to learn.

Let him know I am so proud of him.

Marchel, We are proud of him....and this helped show him just how proud....;-)

Vicki, we live in such a different period of time don't we? It seems that everyone has someone in the military. I, too, am in awe for the service they render.

Missy, I remember your awesome post about your boys. Thank you so much....

You should be so proud! We all owe such a debt of gratitute to those who serve our country in the armed forces. Godd Bless America, and these magnificent young people!

Teri--What a very special way to say thanks to your grandson for his service...thank you for sharing the photos! :)

Teri... What a PROUD Grandmother you are...and you should be! Thank you for sharing and I Thank your Grandson for serving!

God Bless you!

HI Teri! What a cuie pie he is and how proud of him, I KNOW you are! I loved the photos--and the music. My brother graduated from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs and the ceremony just gave me goosebumps--my father was in the Air Force as well, so, I had no choice but to be patriotic. So, needless to say, these things always give me goosebumps and make my heart swell! I know you had a wonderful time and that your heart is just filled with pride too!

Debe in Charlotte

Janna, how could I not be proud....nervous, but very proud. ;-)

Teri, you're welcome. I enjoyed putting this together. ;-)

Cheron, not only am I proud of him, I'm also proud of his mother. ;-)

Debe, I agree....so young, though. How very special that your dad was in the Air Force and that your brother carried on the tradition. How very, very cool....;-) My uncle - now in his 80's - was a Lt. Col in the Air Force. Amazing man. ;-)

MAY

Teri,
A wonderful video--thanks proud Grandma!

JUN

Congratulations - and thank your grandson for his service... liked the video.

JUN

Hi Teri, I'm a little late watching this video, but I remember we conversed about this on FB. My brother, now retired from the Navy taught at Great Lakes. (in the 90's, I think)

That video is awesome, I watched it three times. Congratulations to your grandson and thank him for serving our country for me.

BTW, your son in law looks like Brian Brady, are they related?

JUN

Teri ~ What a wonderful tribute! Very moving! Thank your Grandson for serving! I have no doubt you are proud! My Memorial Day weekend was spent helping one our Marines find a home. It was most special for me.

JUN

Thanks to all of you for your comments. I so enjoyed putting the show together, and am very proud of our grandson. ;-)
