Billy Bob Joins the Army
Published May 31, 2003
Billy Bob's parents were thrilled and excited when he joined the Army; he was going to serve his country.
After Billy Bob had completed basic training, he invited his parents to come to the base and spend the day there. He said that special programs had been set up for all the parents, so that they could see the results of the training. His parents showed up, eager to see what Billy Bob had learned.
After all the parents had visited with their sons, the Drill Sergeant announced that the group would do an exhibition of marching, to show off the skills their sons had learned.
The troops lined up in formation and marched by the group of parents.
As they went by, Billy Bob's mother said to his father, "I'm so proud of Billy Bob. Look at him. He's out there marching, and do you notice, he's the only one in step?"
