Our daughter leaves for Great Lakes on December 7 (talk about an auspicious date!). She is very excited and also very nervous. She is going in as an AECF and has been working very hard to get into shape. Her biggest issue seems to be the 1 1/2 mil...

Then, I looked to my right, and saw my wifes eyes tearing up. I looked in front of me and noticed my sons eyes tearing up. As soon as I saw his, I just lost it. I could not stop. I had… Continue
