Home town lad graduates as a lieutenant (From Missouri), in the U.S. Army, and is married to boot ! Congratulations Lt.and Mrs. Matt Braun !




I am proud to be able to say that Matt and I have spent a few hours at the range sharpening his (and my) rifle skills, and he is a very good shot, and will make an outstanding young officer !

When you run into his proud Mom, Ms. Char Braun please tell her how proud we all are of Matt and Allison, and if your ever out in California near Ft. Irwin please stop in and say hello for me.

Now that is some hat Lt. Braun, I thought only the Air Cav. wore the slouch hat while on parade, guess not.

May God bless this union, and may God keep them both safe and sound throughout their Army career !

Flash update! Matt attempted to "attack" a rock and the rock won. I am very happy to say that while I am sure his pride may have been wounded he will be fine once the Head ache wears off You might want to send him a "get well" card out there as I am sure the Army will not be doing it.

Congrats!!!! Psssst....hey Tom (whispering)......she (Char Braun) likes and supports the mayor and tax increases and bond issues and anything she thinks might help get this city turned around. (Still whispering) She also is a very close friend of Alderperson Beezley and Charlie Berry. (More whispering) I hope you still keep this thread up even though she is kind of a liberal....shhhhhhh thx buddy...We love you Char and Matt Braun!!!!!

11:PM Blogger: And what would that trite diatribe have to do with Matt?

I couldn't care less what she is, or who she backs, why do you? (Unless your she.)

Is it so difficult for you to congratulate a fine upstanding resident that you feel you have to try to be cute?

Sigh !
