Not my son or grandson, but he is an American Warrior from Whitt, TX (pop. 35).

Hometown pride JB, I assume that you have known him for awhile, probably watched him grow up even.....<br />I'm sure that I would feel the same way.....<br />I'm glad that everything seems to be turning out well for him.....JK

It's people like Airman Charles Neilsen, Jr. (USAF Special Forces) that make and keep this country great! Our respect and gratitude to him and all like him. Thanks for bringing this home JB.
