Humor in Uniform 7/1/2010

7/1/2010
It was very emotional time for me---my youngest son was about to leave for basic training.   I took the day off so we could spend his last day as a civilian together.  My son likes to pass himself off as a tough guy, but as we climbed into the car, he blurted out in a halting, sad voice, "I'm going to miss you."  Well, I just about lost it.   The tears flowed from my eyes as I turned to say how much I was going to miss him too.   That's when I saw that he was addressing a can of Pepsi he'd just opened.                                                              Sue Struthers
