As usual, looking at pictures of the Fideros (and Soignet's) I get teary eyed, but then hell, I get teary eyed because it's Tuesday.

God bless your beautiful family. Like Keith, I have tears in my eyes.
#8 is my new (and all-time best)desktop picture - AWESOME!! Makes me want to go find a recruiting station :-) God has blessed America with another group of mighty fine young leaders.
Peace, Love and Semper Fidelis,
