This evening we visited and ate dinner with a family who have 9 children and the 10th is its way. We were very impressed at how well organized they were; everyone knew their place and assignment. They all knew that eating all their dinner was very important. They all sat at the table and visited and interacted with one another while eating. Nothing went to waste, they ate what they were giving. Very impressive.

Then we went out and visited a family in Evans. He has been deployed 6 times. In the 13 years he has in the army, he has probably been home less than half the time. He will not deploy while here at Fort Gordon, but he is a company commander, so he will have long hours at work. These army folks, they sure put a lot on the line.
