Every day I walk into this room hoping I’m going to accomplish something. I stop, stare, contemplate, and then turn back around. I’m still overwhelmed by it all. I cherish everything here and, eventually, it will all find it’s proper place. Interestingly enough, Jag was always simple. Any award, certificate, or medal he won in school would have to be taken from him right away or it would be destined to be buried in his backpack or crumbled in his drawer. He shied away from attention given for his accomplishments, small and big alike. I chose not to force him to take his HS graduation picture, but I did have to argue with him to walk the stage. And at his Green Beret ceremony, he asked me not to post anything about it – for 2 years! Even now, I’m barely learning about some of his other achievements, thanks to his team.
Well son, you have received more attention than you could have ever wanted or imagined. We are so proud and honored to accept it on your behalf. We love and miss you
