Special Blessings
I want to thank all of you for praying for my son, Aaron, to pass his final test to become an Electrician in the Navy. He received a 91 out of 100. He will be coming home tomorrow and will spend 15 days at home before heading off to his new Base in Virginia. He will be on the• USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) — Norfolk, Virginia. I know all the prayers helped! He seemed so happy last night on the phone; he was packing everything and just having a great time with him roommates. One of them will be going to Virginia too! They want to stay in touch; this I think will help Aaron alot. I can't wait to see him and give him a big hug.
Once again, I thank you for all of your prayers.
You are not supposed to say when the ships are coming or going. I know because I used to be an electrician in the US Navy. Tell your son I said Thank you for serving our country. It takes a special person to risk his life for his country. Especially when there are those who don't support you but still get the benefits of what you do. You must be very proud. I know I am. If you ever have any questions or need something please let me know.
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg for the heads up. I should have known that from my older boy but this old mind doesn't remember much these days.
I'll tell him what you said and if I have any question, which I'm sure I will. I'll head them your direction.
