Will gets a promotion

I've been remiss in recognizing that Will is no longer "SGT Will," but is now, instead, "SSG Will." His recent promotion to Staff Sergeant is an indication of the quality of service he's providing while in Iraq and I hope you'll join me in congratulating him. (The extra pay won't hurt, either!)

Now, there is some downside to all of this, as it's causing me some extra work. I need to update the references to the "SGT Will Fund" (although I can't really change the name of the account in PayPal without starting over). Also, my Hero Bracelet is now out-of-date. And, finally, I need to get used to referring to "Mrs. SGT Will" as "Mrs. SSG Will."

I'm sure that if Will had realized the ripple effect of his promotion, he would have gladly declined the honor to spare me the pain and effort of these difficult changes. ;-)

Congratulations, Will...stay safe, buddy...and thanks again for being willing to do the tough duty in the cause of freedom!
