What a wonderful time for your family.  I am so proud of Patton  :2thumbsup;   I was very impressed with him when we met last August.  He has an incredible, caring heart.  If I was in the service, I would want him by my side.  I know I would be safe with him around.   I will be watching and waiting to see him in North Carolina --- he will have to be through here at some point!   Give him my love and best wishes.    Great job to all who help raised this wonderful young man.   :cuddle;
