Have you ever been in a situation where all of a sudden your mind goes into the �outer limits� of rational thinking? Well, I have on many occasions and it happened recently while proudly attending our eldest son, �Cody�s�, graduation from Basic Training at Fort Benning Georgia. On Thursday November 17th we attended the Turning Blue Ceremony in which the Infantry Soldiers are authorized to wear the Infantry Blue Cord on their right shoulder and blue disks under the collar brass signifying that they are an Infantry soldier. The Infantry is the only branch of the Army that is authorized a cord and family members are asked to participate in this ceremony by attaching the cord. It was a wonderful event and one that we are very proud of our �Cody� for having achieved. Cody's brother Beau also graduated from Fort Benning Georgia four years ago. Their youngest brother Sterling, graduated from the Great Lakes Naval Base in 2004, our son�s have made us very proud and honored to be their parents.
