I was just thinking that Colin Roach is the only Roach relative in (my)(our) generation to join the military. If you really dig down deep and think about that, what he has done, and what he has committed to, is a pretty big deal. When I was in College, my best buddies were all ROTC guys. Which is wierd, because I was not a military type. But something about them, for some reason, made them my best of the best friends, and the only guys from college that I still stay in touch with daily. I think we should all contemplate for a brief moment what this cousin of ours has committed to, and acknowledge that most of us dont have the cojones to do it. I have a lot of respect for you Colin. You are a lot bigger man than I. And I mean that. I hope we can chat about this sometime soon, as my kids took me away from the party too early tonight ( I still love them...!) to be able to chat with you. But I was seriously wanting to congratulate you, and talk to you about your future endeavors. I appreciate what you have done.

Bri, I remember before you left for College I talked to you about the option of going into the military. Do you remember? I am so proud of Colin as well....it is a truly honorable, selfless service to all of us! LA
Thanks so much for the flattering words Brian. I am not sure that I deserve them. It means a lot to hear this coming from you, however, as I look up to you as a role model for the next generation of Roaches, just as I am sure most of our other cousins do. Cant wait to see everyone again!
When did you make 1st Lt?
