This is Pvc. Michael Schneider. He is in the Marine's and is active duty. AND he is "going-out" with Ashley. She went to high school with him. He graduated last year and joined the Marines. He leaves tomorrow for combat training and will be going to Iraq in February.
We all really like him and he seems to be very nice....which is a tremendous breath of fresh air for us.


The Traveler's Rest High School Marching band was there and played bits of each military branch's theme song. He stood in attention during the Marine part. Ashley was sitting beside him.




Courtney singing God Bless America and There's a Hero.




That's the Most Highly Reverend Senata' Lindsey Gra-hammmmm. Amen standing beside her. I didn't realize he is the only Senator who serves in the military...GO LINDSEY!
