congratulations are in order

my brother, evan, graduated from basic training/infantry school yesterday. he graduated as the distinguished honor graduate from his class (very exciting). this particular graduation was extra special/exciting because it was coupled with the dedication of The National Infantry Museum in Fort Benning, GA, set to open for visitors in June. there were thousands of people there for the ceremony. this is a picture of evan reciting the army creed, the rest of his company (or whatever the appropriate term is) reciting it after him. you can find an article and a video of evan being interviewed and reciting the creed here.

evan has had a bit of a bad run the last few years and i think this is a great accomplishment. i couldn't be more excited and proud.
