For the mothers, the spouses, and the legion of us who stand proud and tall this one is for you.
I would like to wish my grown man of a son a haply 19th birthday. Time has flown by so much and fast in such a short amount of time aside from all the time that has flown by from the day you were born. I am super proud of you, who you have shaped up be and the man you are becoming. All of your accomplishments and for all of your service.
