Happy Birthday Sarah!

Just wanted to wish my wonderful wife and best friend Sarah a very happy 25th birthday!

I've lost track of how many birthdays, anniversaries, and other important days we haven't been able to be together over the years, and yet somehow it still "works". Every day I wonder how I got so lucky.

Happy birthday dear.

Here is a piece to the couple:

With her skill, I could cry. Such ease and beauty! Ignore all these, though, if it turns out to be distracting and my apology then to my battle-harden son!

Happy bithday to sarah from all of us at Tuck too! Maj C, you're the best. Be well, and stay safe. We'll keep an eye on things here in Hanvoer for you. Lots of history between the 10th Mtn. Division and Dartmouth going back to WWII. You are carrying on a great legacy. We're proud of you!

You made my wife cry with your post. Can you write my anniversary card come October? Thanks.

What does the title mean?

Line of departure or "LD" is a military term used to describe the physical line where an operational movement begins. LD is a critical time and place because it sets the tempo of not only one unit, but all other organizations involved in the battle. Making LD is one of the most important actions a leader can do to setting the conditions for a successful action. To me, a line of departure also has a broader meaning. It represents a point beyond which another phase or experience has begun. I like to think of life as an ongoing series of passages, and each starts with crossing a line of departure.
