Troops and Troopers Tribute

My 10 yr old son Wesley made this video today. It took him all day but I am so proud of him for understanding our freedoms and who provides those freedoms to us. He also understands what sacrifices they've made and continue to make. I'm proud of him... most likely a future Marine and Trooper... Please pass this on to everyone you know. It'll make him feel good.

That's not a bad idea. I'm going to put it on DVD for him so he can take it.

Great job on you and your wife for teaching him the core values so that at 10 years old he cares enough about things other than himself.



Great job Wesley, this country needs more young men like you. Keep it up.



It's not easy as you know Jack, you have every reason to be proud.


Thanks for sharing.




Great picture of you two together, imagine the memories that photo will bring in 20 years.

very loud whistles! Great selection of the sound track Wesley~ I will forward the posted comments to your dad; New York State Troopers are sending out a sweat shirt for you. will forward when it arrives.

they advise a 'you tube ' posting.

super job, beyond your years! Young Blood, you are welcome at any installation here in New york.
