47 years ago today.
I was an 11 year-old 5th grader at the time.

My son Isaac was an 11 year-old 5th grader when his mom was deployed for 18 months, 12 of them in Iraq.
My daughter Chloe was 13. My daughter Hilary was 15.

My wife teaches Kindergarten. When she tells me the circumstances some of her students go home to, I am reminded she is a warrior.

Them: I'm sorry, sir, the tires you ordered didn't arrive, but we have these others.
Me: No problem, they're the same price, so go ahead.

Them: Yes, sir. They're the same price.
