TJ has done well. Good for him.
The United States Army called my house this evening. It was after 6 pm and
my son was at work, I ran for the phone from outside. I thought it was my
husband, imagine my surprise when I heard it was the Army calling for my 18
year old son. I asked them to take his name off their list. I have no idea
if they will or if we'll receive more phone calls.
