You sure weren't lying...He's a FINE MAN! Looks awesome in his uniform

So, Jimmy...just how many buttons did you pop yesterday????? I know you are proud and rightfully so! thank you for sharing this with us!!! I know you are exhausted from the trip...so rest up my friend...These are WONDERFUL pics! But where is the one of YOU with PFC Bryce W. Ritchey?????? That's the one WE wanna see!!!!

Vanessa when your the one handling the Kodak and no body will use it for you it is hard to get that kind of photo. I couldn't get noone to pose so I could get his Mother and dad and brother with him. His dad even left his Kodak in the car.
Glad you all liked them will give him your blessing's.
Jimmy

Nice looking grandson, Jimmy!

I know what you mean about the camera...

I won't teach anyone how to use mine because I don't WANT any pictures of me taken, though!

Vanessa Popped them all. came back in my T-shirt as no buttons left on dress shirt.

He is a handsome soldier. We lived in Lawton, OK when my dad was stationed at Ft. Sill. That's where I became acquanited with tarantulas and scorpions. In the garage and in the sinks in the house. Yuck. I guess it's from my child hood but I don't think anyone is more handsome than when they are in uniform. It's a noble profession too. They should be paid more $$ and get more respect. Where would we be without our troops.

Wonderful pictures Jimmy. A very handsome grandson, indeed. It is so nice to see young men willing to join the military and serve our country and makes me so proud!!!
