20 years!

Today was Jason's retirement ceremony to culminate his 20 years of service in the US Navy. It is so hard to believe that it has been 20 years already! The ceremony was very nice and I am glad he decided to do one. Kevin was his guest speaker and had a lot of stories to share from the past. I know Jason is looking forward to attending Kevin's retirement ceremony in the future.
