Wow, 3rd out of 597.. I would say that is indeed an honor.  Congratulations to Blake.

These are absolutely amazingly wonderful pictures.  Reminds me of when my grandson (Dustin) graduated from the Citadel.  They are so 'with it'..lol. 

Seriously, you are all mighty privileged and proud and for good reason.  I pray he will be safe wherever he may be doing whatever he is doing for our country.  May God Be With Him is my prayer.

Great pictures of all of you.  Your daughter is beautiful, just like her mom.
