Let me start out by saying that this achievement and recognition is an honor and truly humbling. I would like to take a moment to give thanks and to recognize a couple of gentlemen here. I would like to start out by thanking Antonio Centero for bringing this great community to life. For if Antonio did not come up with this idea and bring it to life none of us would be here. This is a created for men, by men, for us to learn to become the best versions of ourselves. I would next like to personally thank Brian McGuire for his pushing me over the finish line to achieving this wonderful honor. I grateful for his expertise, wisdom, and guidance. Now I must thank all of you great gentlemen of this outstanding community. I think of many of you as more than merely names on a screen. I think of many of you as friends and to a greater extent an extended family. I am truly grateful for all of you, because I learn from each and everyone of you. If it were not for all of you I would not have made the comments I have. I never started this to move up the ranks as fast as possible. I felt it was more important to make comments when I felt it was appropriate to do so. I always wanted my comments to be positive and to add to the discussion. Do, I want to personally thank you one and all. I will do my best to live up to this great honor. I have a couple of military pictures from my time in service. The first one is NCO(Non Commissioned Officer) of the Quater for 7th Marine Regiment. The second picture is me getting the highest award that Red Cross gives out for life saving, A Certificate of Merit. Gen Krulak the base CG(Commanding General) gave me the award. The last picture is of me as a DI(Drill Instructor) at MCRD, Parris Island, SC.
