2-Week Field Trip!

Wayne & Melissa are home-schooling their kids this year, so they were fortunate to be able to take a two-week "field trip" during the last half of September. Mom went along to help out with the kids. On Facebook, Melissa wrote "We had so much fun on our family adventure. 3,300 miles, 8 states, 4 National parks, 2 Dodger games, 1 Triple D restaurant, finally got to try the famous Big Fat Lunch Box. And lots of good times with family and friends!"

It is a tradition in our Army that newly commissioned second lieutenants present a silver dollar to the first enlisted Soldier who salutes them. The coin symbolically acknowledges the receipt of respect due the new rank and position.
