[laurenvparrott]

@tboy221 Yes I do!! Wow Dave, I'm sorry to hear that but I'd like to thank you so much for your service!!

[NikiBoBicki]

He is great! I grew up in Canada but we lived in a town next to an American Navy facility. My mom worked for the Navy and a lot of my friends growing up were kids who's parent's were in the Navy or Army. They are some strong and disciplined men! I have always admired the determination and commitment of the military. A friend of mine in the Canadian Army here where I love actually got diagnosed with MS about a month before me. He inspires me!

[laurenvparrott]

Wow, that's amazing!

[proudwesterner2]

@NikiBoBicki Hi. I'm curious to know what happened with your friends career in the military when he was diagnosed with MS because I'm concerned I may have it and I'm training for a career in the Royal Marine Commandos.

[NikiBoBicki]

@proudwesterner2 He is still very involved! He had to scale back his physical work at first ( He trains new members of the Army reserves now ) but as time goes by he seems to be taking on more of his old physical training role. Early morning backpack marches/jogs are his specialty I think! Ha ha. He is a reserve member and the Director of his own non-profit organization as well as involved in politics. Seems to have no end to his energy!

I hope you are doing well!

[proudwesterner2]

@NikiBoBicki He sounds like a real inspiration.

[NikiBoBicki]

So much love!

[laurenvparrott]

Isn't he great!!

[marinevetnc]

People like your Cousin makes me proud to be an American. These are the true heros. You see how modest he is and unwilling to put himself in the spot light. Thanks , I realize alot of what you do is Classified theres no Public Parades or News Coverage. I realize our freedom and liberties depend on men and women like you. I rest easy at night knowing your on Watch.

[laurenvparrott]

I couldn't agree more. I am so proud of Ryan!!
