In the wake of Memorial Day, I was wondering how I’d feel if Ryan decided to follow a career in the military.  Certainly, it’s an honorable profession which commands a great deal of respect but carries with it some real pressure and danger.  Any parent would be understandably hesitant to endorse such an idea.  It’s probably true that it takes as much courage to be the parent or loved one of a soldier as it takes to be a soldier.  I say that from the cheaper seats of being a loved one of several soldiers. 

With all that said, I’m fairly confident that if Ryan gets this excited about shooting, Uncle Sam will likely be taking a pass on our young gunner.
