Here is Brad with my wife and Judy (Saber4) wife.




Brad took me to the side, put his hand on my shoulder. Said i have a bond with you, your wife and your kids. I have something for you from me to you and if you dont take it, It will hurt my feelings.

When he put this in my hand i got choked up and had no words (which dont happen much)

From a true American hero to a normal guy who has pride and and unwavering gratitude and respect for the Men & Women past and present serving our great country.

OMG, that truly is a gift from the heart. I never met  Brad but would love to shake his hand some day.

This is the first time I've gotten a chance to log on since we got back and I have to thank Larry and Jan for inviting and hosting everyone to Paducah every year and sharing their birthday with us. Judy and I had even more fun than last year and last year was pretty phenomenal, I got a chance to move up from judging chicken to ribs this year and Judy got the call to join me in judging ribs on Saturday Morning. She was so pumped that she signed up on the list to judge next year. It was great to meet all our new friends and hang out with our old friends again. If you haven't been to one of these you need to make plans now for next years BBQ on the River.
