Jason's Ranger Graduation

This is the first time Jason met Charlie. He had to wait a long time to see his first nephew!




My brother, Jason, graduated from RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program) on August 22nd at Fort Benning, GA. We were able to be there to celebrate with him and are so proud of all he's done (it is a BIG deal to make it through the program... about 70% drop out or get cut). He graduated at the top of his class from basic training, airborne school, and RIP. Apparently, he's the most physically fit guy around since he got the PT (physical training) award in 2 out of 3 of his programs. He is headed out to Fort Lewis, Washington where he'll be stationed for the next 4 years. He will be deployed some time after Christmas, so please pray for his safety and his ministry to the guys around him in the coming months and years.
