Diego’s dad. Dropped a note of thanks in the comments box that I thought you might like to read:

BROTHERS AND SISTERS
I want to thank you for your wonderful comments. I would like to say that reading this blog makes me proud of the large family I have in you, Our Nations Armed Forces(active or retired). As the father of such an incredible child. i must say that you the military were the sole inspiration in my son’s heart any time he saw a jet,tank,ship or grunt pounding the pavement,he smile that angelic smile of his. I thank you all for bringing happiness to his heart even in his days of pain. God speed….

Thank you, Chief. Thanks for reminding us all what’s really important. You’re still in our prayers, you and Diego and Cookie and all the rest.

We’re so very sorry for your troubles.
