Happy Birthday to my now 21 year old soldier-son!

It is Hard to believe that 21 years ago yesterday I was laying on my couch in the Springfield Centerstone office with my back hurting refusing to go to the doctor because the day treatment clients had planned to have a baby shower for me. ...They sped things up and called my mother who convinced me that I was probably having back labor & I finally, reluctantly went to the hospital. The next day my beautiful baby boy came into the world. Happy Birthday to my handsome, intelligent, brave soldier son. I am so proud of you and love you more than you can ever know. I miss you son. Have the happiest of birthdays.

If I had to guess, I'd say that pic was taken at NTC/ Fort Irwin, CA... spent many rotations there myself... damn, about the time that guy was born!

Congrats, Ruby, and good job on raising a kid willing to serve his country... you done good!

Thanks! I am very proud of him! PS I have no idea where the pic was taken. He is not stationed in Calif but could have gone there for training.

I was 1/16 infantry., at Fort Riley... I presume your "Kansas" means Ft. Riley, too! Took a number of trips out to NTC while stationed at Ft. Riley, but I never minded a bit. I like the desert!

I'm with 1-5 FA. It wasn't terrible, but it was terrible at the same time

Lots of soldiers go to NTC before they deploy. My son was stationed there for 1 1/2 yrs himself. I know you miss him Jan

I don't like the sounds of that statement. I hope he is not about to be deployed someplace. But I understand & appreciate the intended sentiment.
