I am so proud of my son today and I wanted to make a point to thank those of you who worked with him. I really believe his year at FUMA changed his life and that he will look back and say, truthfully, success really did start there.
I work everyday with students in a public elementary school. I know that the daily grind of dealing with their work, their personalities and their problems is a difficult one. I know that the students you touch and the results of the work you do is not really evident to you each day, or even when they graduate. But I wanted to let you know that you do make a difference. I am so appreciative of the help my son received while a cadet at FUMA. Teaching and mentoring young men in the 21st century is a vitally important mission field. Please know that we will pray for you and the work you do.
