Mattew, we will miss you. So keep in touch when you can and let us know how you're doing. National Guard used to mean you were still a civilian. But now it means you might be deployed in the war as a full time soldier. Thank you for volunteering your service and may God watch over you.

Kudos my friend! You are on a trail that many good people have already blazed.

Keep your mind open and your mouth closed and you'll become an instant success. Keep in touch.
