Monday marked 6 years that Dave has been in the Army and a promotion from Captain to Major, and then Monday night at 11:59 he was officially honorably discharged from the Army. Cheers and Hooah's were said and the end of a wonderful/frustrating adventure was celebrated with a lot of food and visiting. Dave also gave us a great family home evening lesson on the military and his experiences in it. The military has been frustrating and hard but it has also given us the chance to see the world, grow up a bit and meet some of the most wonderful people in the world. So for that we are thankful.
Dave put together a slide show to show the family and here are some pictures from it...unfortunately we didn't get a digital camera until we got to Germany so I don't have many pics from NC and few pictures from 07-08 since they are in storage...oh well.

Congrats Major Dave!! What a journey! We are glad to have been a part of it. Ya gotta love the Army!! I'm sure James would love to have a venting session with Dave.
Congratulations, SIR!! That's great you made Major right before getting out of the Army. We are trying to figure out what we are going to do next year at this time. We wish you all the best in your new practice and life in Oregon. Please keep in touch even if it is with a lowly Captain and his wife.
I can't help but get teary eyed watching that. Thanks for everything.
