Promotion!

Quick post today to let everybody know that Karl was promoted to Captain! He pinned it on yesterday afternoon; he used his father's original captain bars and a good friend of ours, Julito Drake, pinned them on in a small ceremony. Captain is a huge step from Lieutenant and it is the most senior of the company grade officers! I am so proud and wish that I could have been there, but my mom and I did call and sing a congratulations song to him (I'm sure that was the highlight of his day). I'll get some pictures soon of his new uniform so everyone can see the new rank and also a new medal he was just awarded for exemplary service to the Reconnaissance Battalion at Camp Lejune! Congratulations Karl!
