RR,

Congratulations to your son and to you and your wife. That sounds like a magical moment for all involved. My guess is that your son has patterned himself after two shining examples at home.

and to my surprise, he called our son's name

it's strange isn't it that on the one hand, we as
parents know our children and can see what they
are capable of, but we are ALWAYS amazed
when others recognize and appreciate those
very same qualities.

congratulations to you rick and mrs.rr but,
most of all, my congratulations to your son.

its a wonderful thing.

Congrats to the 2 of you, as well as your son. I know he couldn't have done it without your guidance.

In your son's case, there's no doubt the fruit fell close to the tree. You have good reason to be a proud parent RR!

I'm proud of both of you......... and Mrs. RR of course ;-)

Congrats, RR... I hadn't heard of the Marines award in High Schools before? I'm sure it made your son feel great also.

<<It really hit me that my little boy was actually a young man now and that he got this award on his own for being who he is, a really good human being.>>

RR: Thanks for sharing 'A STORY' with the porch.

Congrats to you and Mrs. RR for raising such an outstanding son...I'm sure you are a role model that your son will continue to learn from, look up to and appreciate for years to come...=)

regards,

-Scott
