['My son is in the Army and recently he graduated first in the class from recruiting school at Ft. Knox.', 'That is awesome! I am so proud of your son, you should be proud as well.', 'Yes, I am. He was such a slacker in high school, but now he is thriving.']
I can just imagine how you feel. It is so nice when our kids make us proud.
My son graduated first in the class from his Army recruiting school. He has been in the army for 5 years now.
