A good day today, as a milestone of sorts was achieved - - - by Jason. He went to the gym over at the Wounded Warrior Battalion on Camp Pendleton, and got a chance to work out. He worked with a few other guys and with a physical therapist, and most importantly, he had a good time. There was an opportunity for one of the therapists to work on his shoulders and he felt a great deal better after having them worked on. Because of the positive nature of the visit he is wanting to go more often and on a regular basis. I will be going with him for most of the visits, and assisting him with a couple things, but for the most part it is all Jason.

I think the opportunity to work with other Marines, again, was a good feeling for him, as well. I guess the funniest part was when he got there, there was a new "receptionist" who challenged him and asked if he was an alum of the battalion. Jason said he was and then a few of the guys came out and one of them knew Jason from the past and it was all positive after that.

The other stuff for today was that the girls went to school and Linda and I had some things to be taken care of. The house is continuing to look better all the time, just as Jason is continuing to improve every day. Also, right after the girls were dropped off at school the three of us (Jason, Linda and me) went to breakfast and then to look at RVs. We're thinking about how we can get one so that we can use it for our future travel, as a family. It seems like it is the best solution for any kind of long distance travel we might have to do. With a modified RV we can all travel together and be comfortable. It is something for the future, though we're looking around now to get some ideas. Thank you, for all your continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.
