Your Claim to Fame?

[funkfool]

What a great thread with some really interesting stories! I'm just kind of a nobody but have had some cool stuff (to me, anyway) happen in my life.

By far the biggest thing is (it didn't happen to me but it's probably the most proud I've ever felt in my life):

#1 - Was with my youngest son when he was told he'd won a Bronze Star w/Valor in the battle for Fallujah as an A1C.

Now for my mostly lame stuff:

-Married to my wonderful wife for 20 years
-Presented Meritorious Service Medal by Caspar Weinberger in 1983
-Several articles published in Denver Post re: police stuff
-Got sued for $16 Million by a little scumbag who lost big because he couldn't keep his lies straight
-Lots of other awards from Electronic Security Command and Air Weather Service and cop stuff

Thank your son for us for his service (and yours) to this great country! You must be VERY proud of him - as are we!

None of that stuff is lame at all.
*except for the lame scumbag!
Congrats on 20yrs married - I'm just passing 6mos. - you are a tough guy! (And that IS a claim to fame!)
I am trying to learn how to put my ego and desires aside for the joint tasks of married life - it takes more than I know. I'm trying.
