A life-long marine comes home

Our oldest son, Michael, has been a marine since he was 17 yrs old. Now, after 15 years of service, he has decided to leave the military. He is currently stationed in Germany, with responsibility over the wounded warriors that are sent to Germany from Iraq and Afganistan.

He is seen here with his wife Pri, and two of our five grandsons, Robbie and Gabriel. I'm not sure where they are (isn't it supposed to be winter in Germany?). They will be coming back to the states in February, then, moving to Brazil (Pri's family lives in Brazil). Pri hopes to begin medical school once settled in their home in Brazil.

We will be traveling to Utah to see them, and other members of our family, before they head off to Brazil. Our family is so scattered around the world, it is difficult to be able to see them!

Michael recently graduated with a degree in finance, and, after some time off, hopes to work with an international company in Brazil (with his knowledge of finance and economics, and being fluent in English and Portuguese, it shouldn't be difficult!).
