Olope Promoted To Us Army Colonel!

[necta]

This ceremony took place last year at the pentagon dining room. My brother Orlando was promoted to Colonel. His family, my Mom and Dad (el Javelin macho silver tips) made the ceremony. The best part was when our Father was recognized and officially welcomed back for his service in Vietnam (there wasn't a dry eye in the house when he received his ovation - 39 years late). Anyway, we are all proud grads of Texas A&I Kingsville - Mom, Dad, Brother and I. Alumns. Maybe this is why we have issues when we see a Javelina killed. Javelina pride is justified! ;-)

Congratulations to your brother on his promotion.

And, special congratulations to your father on his way over due accolades.

Thank you, Lopez family for your service to our country.

Though I have to disagree that these occasions were brought about not by the mystical influence of some nasty stinky skunk's cousin, but instead, by the respective individual's actions, thanks for sharing none the less, Hector.

Wow!!! That is a serious accomplishment. His focus and determination are huge testiments to his character. My father also served in Nam (2 tours) and I can truly relate to how your dad feels.
