    Default Update On My Son Randy ( Older Members Will Remember His Injuries From The IED )


    This is not an end to the story, but a great milestone for him. Last Saturday I went to a Ceremony, Homes For Heroes built my son a beautiful mortgage free home. It's built so if he's in a wheel chair he can spin around 360 degrees without hitting anything. That even means in the bathroom. It's a beautiful home and I will post a picture or two also to show it.

    The video below is a bit long, but all really good. It starts when I was driving up the street lined with American Flags to his house. Then going in and the people talking about this entire thing and at some point Randy talks and accept the home.

    I never knew there was going to be a parade until we got there, lol!

    Don't pay attention to other things on here or even the videos below that look to be about the same thing, they are and this is the one that takes the place of the others.

    I have tried to figure a way to link these videos outside of FB, but so far I can not get that done.

    Thanks,

    I'm speechless Skip. So glad to hear about Randy's house. I also can't add much to Pappy's statement. Thank You Randy, for your service both then and now.

    I catch and release all my fish right before my fingers touch the scolding hot oil.
    Nothing causes a fish to weigh more than almost being caught. <*)}}}><
