Wow, how could 4 years go by so slowly and also in a blink of an eye (Steve Forbert song, a good one, look it up).
In the least 4 years, Jimmy has endured rat line, the cadre, hate from NARPs (non athletic people), having his Dyke tell him he'd never make it, never playing even 1 down of football, COVID, not being able to travel with the team to games, staying behind to study while friends went home for weekends, Crozet food (believe me, its terrible), sweat parties, and a dorm room that looks more like prison cell.
What did he learn from this? grit, perseverance, leadership, patience, hard work, bonds, integrity, honesty, an incredible understanding of what he can accomplish.
He finished with distinction, awards, a 3.91 GPA, Top 5 in his class, honor society for French and Int'l Studies, leading Fellowship of Christian Athletes groups, jazz band, Title IX committee and the list goes on.
But the signular and most important accomplishment was the amazing friends he made. They are true brothers and have a bond unlike any other. These boys are future leaders... kind, thoughtful, respectful, determined and we love them (and their amazing families) beyond measure.
So blessed to celebrate them and this amazing accomplishment.
RahVaMil class of 2024!
We had a cheat sheet HA!
These boys are going places! 
Jimmy made the Linked In post for VMI, of course 
His major award!
Still one of the best moments and photos 
It was a perfect day for a 2 1/2 hour ceremony, inside... 
With the FCA chaplin, he loves these boys! 
Sue came to see him graduate and cried before it ever officially started 
Colin and Evan came back to cheer them on, they graduated in December

Another LInkedIn post. The kid is definitely "Mr President" on campus and is known and loved by everyone. I think I'm most proud of how kind he is, to everyone, all the time.
