Very moving tribute to her son. I feel he approves and is proud of and grateful to his mom.

Thanks for sharing another good news story SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. I am thankful that Phyllis McGeath has graduated cum laude from the University of Texas at Arlington. It must have been challenging for her at times as she grieved the death of her oldest son Philip, who was killed in Afghanistan. I expect her love for her children helped propel her to do her best in her studies.
