Its funny Disey3 and YankeesFan, we are about 30 minutes from West Point. I used to take my son to every home basketball game. I even took my CYO and PAL basketball teams to play the Army youth teams. Great times too! Yet, we took one visit to the Coast Guard Academy about 5 years ago and it stuck in his mind. It was over this past Christmas break when our West Point graduate cousin spoke about the benefits of all of the Service Academies, that he really set his mind on the CGA. It is the only academy he applied to. Whatever the outcome, I'm convinced he'll serve in the Coast Guard. A few more prayers tonight...Best to you too!
