hsauce - Ranger Parent

[hsauce]

Hello Rangers,

First I would like to say I have great respect and gratitude for all of you that have and are serving this great country.
To introduce myself I am a police officer with 32 years of service and the parent of two sons serving as E-5s at Ft. Benning 3/75. My youngest has been a Ranger for 4 years and is on his 5th deployment. My oldest has served 6 years as an 11- Bravo with 3 tours in Iraq with 3rd and 4th I.D. He graduated from the last RIP class before it turned into RASP. He was then rushed into Ranger school 45 days later. He just finished Florida at Elgin and will graduate this Friday. He was recycled in mountains due to an infection in the fat tissue of his knee that seems to be a common Ranger school ailment.
They are following a family tradition other than I am the only male that did not serve in the Armed Forces. As you might be able to tell I am very proud of my sons. My wife and I feel that the Army made them men of quality and will benefit them the rest of their lives.

"Sua Sponte" Rangers Lead the Way
