Tonight, I saw an unanticipated result of our current administration's influence on today's youth.
Chandler was describing an efficiency report for Fort Stewart that he had accidentally "over-seen" while we were in Savannah recently.
His grandfather, an engineering contractor for McLean, had some reports lying on a desk, in a closed binder in the same room the boys were bunking.
Total happenstance report reading, really.
What Chan was impressed by was the efficiency of the Army as detailed in the report.He was describing how the report listed amount of wattage used per army barrack.
And that's when I spotted it.
He said "Army Buh-Rocks"
Bunk houses by this name would be the current President of the United States.
(And I'm pretty sure he didn't serve...)
We often tease ChanMan about his creative pronunciation skills, and it is a homonym, so, I won't devote any more of this post to something that may embarrass him.
However, it is an ideal time to tack on a little praise-worthy note.
For all the things they are learning to pronounce or spell or do in life, I believe these Brewer kids are well on their way to becoming fine adult human beings.
(May this post serve ever a reminder of this worthy expectaion)
Chandler especially leads the charge in this thing I describe to you now, the others participating with joie de vivre:
They have learned to spot the bright yellow embroidery on jackets, hats and patches denoting a seasoned veteran from aisles and aisles away.
They know IwoJima, Vietnam, Korea, WWII.
They stand on perpetual watch for the tell-tale car tags and camo fatigues of our service men and women.
They are ever-ready and ever-eager to grab a door, extend a hand, offer the respect they feel is due:
"Thank you for serving our country"
And to our local First Responders I often hear:
"Thank you for serving our community"
Even the Coast Guard have met with their appreciation...
...and when they were younger, Mall Security and Citadel recruits too.
(a uniform by any other name still respect demands)
They really are a good bunch.
I'm proud of you, BrewCrew.
