The Greatest Father’s Day Gift Ever!

As a former Marine Sergeant (circa 1972-1976) I was of course thrilled that my oldest boy Kurt chose to do a hitch in the Corps. Curently a Lance Corporal, Kurt found himself in Afghanistan over the recent Father's Day. He makes phone calls when he can but as you might expect, I had little expectation of a timely card or letter on Father's Day. He missed it by one day and sent an E-Mail apologizing for missing the day itself. I opened the attached photo and was floored. It turned out to be what I personally consider one of the best pictures ever taken and a perfect Father's Day card for any ol' Jarhead.
I have sent it to everyone, made it my wallpaper on my computer and it's the last thing I see each night when I power down. I thought it was well worth letting everyone see, so attached is what I consider one of the best Father's Day card a Marine father ever got.

PS. Wish him luck on a safe return because he doesn't need skill, the Corps gave him all of that he'll need.
