Congratulations! I went to law school at age 21 but one of my best friends there was about your age and I learned a lot from his unflappability.

AF and Army both is pretty unusual, no? Have you written about that? I’m off to check your archives, there must be an interesting story there.

You’re my hero!! I’m about your age and I’m considering a new career in law as well. I plan to start as a paralegal but eventually I think I’d like to pursue a law degree. One step at a time tho… Congratulations on your achievement and thank you for your service to our country!!

Truly remarkable! 👏👏

Already your writing has had a HUGE impact on enlightening others. I can’t wait to read your autobiography when you get to that in the next decade or two. 🤔May you continue to inspire the vets and the younger generations to work towards achieving their mark with vision and grit.

The world sorely needs this!
