And Corey, I hope that this haunting will show you all of the incredible things that you HAVE accomplished, and that you are someone to be admired! I hope “The Ghost of Father’s Day Present” reminds you of the incredible example you are not only to your family, but your friends. You’ve helped people find ways to become involved, ways to stop being the “silent majority” and be true Americans - powerful, passionate, loving people that are fierce protectors of their freedoms that need to make their voices heard. I’ve been told that I shouldn’t keep my “light from shining”, that I shouldn’t shy away from stepping forward out of fear, and you are a great example what a huge impact that letting your light shine can have. What we do in our lives is like throwing a rock across the water, it ripples out and touches more than we will ever know. I try to remember that when I take care of people that are sick, and I know that is true when you are teaching. There’s no way to see right now how the young people you have taught will turn out. When I was in school, I was the classic jean-jacket-black-t-shirt-wearing “hoodlum”, who was “too quiet” and “never lived up to her Potential”, and honestly, I think I was kind of marked for failure. I went back to visit my ROTC instructor a year or so ago - he was one of my teachers who really inspired me. When he saw me in my nursing uniform, he had tears in his eyes. I’m glad I did that - I wanted him to know that it took a while, but I remembered the encouragement he gave me and I did finally realize that I WAS a force to be reckoned with, and I planned to make sure the world knew it. Sgt. Marshall really reminds me a lot of you, in a lot of ways - we all could all learn a thing or two from your courage and integrity, and the passion that you have for your family, your students, and your country. Because of people like you, a wonderful stage is being set for the Ghosts of Fathers Day Future. I know your son is just a little thing now, but I know - without a doubt - that he’s going to be proud of his Daddy when he’s old enough to understand and see the incredible results of the work you are doing today.
