I'm proud
 
Of my first cousin Thomas Maffey for being promoted yesterday to the rank of Brigadier General in the United States Army. For those not in the know, that means he is a one star general at the age of 42.

This is the kid I used to play army with in his backyard when we were about 6 yrs old.

Tommy works at the Pentagon and no doubt is very involved in planning the attacks on Iraq.

Give em hell Tommy. Make us proud.

WOW! Impressive at that age. Go get 'em BG Maffey!!

CigDaze 03-18-2003 10:36 AM

Very impressive! Congratulations!
Show 'em how it's done in the USA!!! :D

Tommy was the Captain of the drill team at Xavier. This is what he wanted to be all his life. He just wanted to be a soldier.

He has jumped into Panama and has lead men by the thousands.

He has worked hard all his life to attain this. With men like Tommy at the helm of our war machine, I know we will be unstoppable.

You have every right to be proud.
A one star at age 42 is quite an achievement.

Congratulations and
GIVE'EM HELL TOMMY!!!

Go Tommy. I am equally proud of my cousin who graduated high school last year and is a soldier with the 101st airborne division. His division will be leaders into Iraq.

Hey UT, thanks for the Kudos for me and Tommy.

The bay just thawed out two weeks ago so I need to find some other super cool boats to write about. That will be a tough act to follow.

I was supposed to go throttle a new 42 OL GTX with 1200s in the Sarasota Poker Run but the motors won't be done in time. I've got my eye on a nice V bottom Nortech. Stay tuned.

Gordo 03-18-2003 11:32 PM

Very impressive!
 
Godspeed to him, and those who follow him into harms way.

Re: I'm proud
 
I am another Thomas Maffey. I live in the UK and i am currently studying at a local Grammer school. I hope to also join the army and would like to congratulate a fellow Thomas Maffey for his achievement
