that's so sweet dawn. and we ARE proud of him...it's weird to think he is completely finished...forever. i'm proud that he spent almost 25 years of service to our country...but...i think the thing i am most proud of is that for many years he was ready to quit...especially with the deployments...and the uncertainty where he would be sent next...but he really wanted to reach his goal of staying until he turned 60 - even though he had enough time in that he could have retired 5 years ago...and he hung in there and reached that goal. to me that is the biggest accomplishment of all.
:-)
I LOVE YOU!!!
Congrats, Earl...and, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
This was sweet Dawn! Happy Birthday, Daddy! Big 6-0!!!
Wow...how amazing! What dedication.
Dawn-that was a really sweet tribute. I love it!
Thank you, Mr. Goulas, for your service and sacrifice to our country! We are grateful.
Earl - No matter what part of the armed services you serve, you are ultimately serving your country to keep us safe from harm and to make the world a better place for your kids and grandkids. We applaud you for doing your part...
Congratulations and "let us not forget" during those years you could have been deployed to less desirable locales, placing yourself right in the middle of harms way to keep us safe. Thanks Earl and kudos on your dedication.
Hope you had a great 60th!!!
Dawn, Please thank your dad not just from those close by, but from all of us. Because of he and others in all areas of the armed services, we can be secure in our day to day lives! Plus, he raised wonderful daughters too!
Reading this gave me the chills. What a great a great accomplishement!! You go EARL!!!
