Well said Proud Retired Sailor. I think that we may have a speech writer in the wings.
Mitchell, we are proud of you. I would also recommend military service, but I recommend it because serving your country is a most noble cause, not because it may give you “credibility”.
If you are looking for a star to hook your wagon to — this is a young man to follow! Congrats Mitchell!!
Way to go!! CONGRATULATIONS.
Good job, Mitchell! Proud of all of my students!
That’s wonderful, Mitchell. We are proud of you and always have been. Keep up the hard work. It will pay off one day. We love you.
Keep up the great work Mitchell. So very proud of you.
Congratulations! !!!
Proud of you kiddo!
We will be marking our voting ballot for Mitchell next thing we know.
Mitchell I strongly recommend a tour of military service for your record. It will give you much credibility, on top of the great amount that you have already cultivated.
Congrats young man, job well done.
