family day/graduation pictures

Sorry for the delay in posting pictures from Daniel's family day and graduation.

Sign at the entrance to the base.
Sign on base announcing Daniel's Company's family day and graduation.
Daniel's company with one of the drill sergeants, just before they released the guys to us on family day.
Daniel and his Grandma. He told her that he was sad that Grandpa couldn't be there to see his accomplishment, but she assured him that Grandpa would be VERY proud!

Daniel and his little sister. She missed him a lot.
Daniel with his parents. We are soooo proud of him!!!
Daniel with his best friend, Tiffany. She surprised him with her attendance, although Daniel says he wasn't really surprised because "she wrote on page 15 of her letter that she might come."

Daniel announcing his name, rank and hometown, just before he got pinned with his castle signifying that he is now an Army Engineer Soldier.
Daniel with one of his drill sergeants after graduation. They are now "equals" in that they are both Army Engineer Soldiers. (Of course the drill sergeant does still outrank Daniel.)

Daniel with his Company after graduation. This is the last time he stood with these guys that he has lived with for the past 15 1/2 weeks.
