The Legacy Continues

Here is our baby boy, Nicholas taking his Oath for becoming a soldier in the Army. Its soo odd to see these pics. I remember the 1st day Sal got to see him. Nick was 3 weeks old and Sal was getting ready to graduate from AIT at Ft. McClellan and he missed Nick's birth because of being at Basic and AIT. We flew in and drove to the post and waited outside for the soldiers to get into formation. They were all standing there and Nick started to cry and Sal could only sit there and look at his new son. The Drill Sergeant knew about Nick and walked over and touched his cheek and made sure Sal saw it, LOL.. Poor guy.. SO, That is how Sal met his son, via the Army :) Now Sal got to stand by and watch his son take the same oath he did 18 years ago, Nicks very same age!! I cant believe our baby is in the Army!! I remember the day he was born. After 48 hours of non epidural labor, he finally arrived and when they handed him to me he didnt even cry, he just looked at me in the eyes as if to say "WHEW mom, that was some hard work, im tired" Now that baby is 6'3 wears a size 14.5 shoe, plays basketball like a fiend and is an all around good kid.
