25 hours till Death Valley my last kickoff...

As a student.
-More importantly in a few hours my brother and his wife, both 82nd Airborne (army), will be here for the first Clemson game. My brother is an ###, I'll tell anybody that. Being 7 years older than me I caught a lot of bruises from him growing up. What can I say but I love the guy.
My brother wasn't the smartest kid ever academically. He pushed me to go to college instead of joining the military. Now I am going to graduate ### laude in December, have studied in Australia, worked internships, and have a career lined up post graduation.
My brother has gotten shot at, injured, missed the the birth of his son, been to Iraq (one of the first to cross the line in 2003), and Afghanistan twice. He's received the Bronze Medal with Valor distinction for actions he did on his 2nd tour. The saddest memory I have is having a Skype Christmas for his 2 kids while him and his wife were both deployed.
They never complain. They do their job.
I hope for my last home game the Tigers can pull it out. But even more I hope they can put on a show for my Brother.
Your an ### brother, I love you.

football get better and better and concern about WF is an emotional waste. I hope your brother kick your butt.

Congrats on your pending graduation and praise for your brother being able to come home. He sounds like the epitomy of "I am my brother's keeper" so I'm sure he'll kick your ### at least once, HA!
GO TIGERS!!

Your brother thinks you are a knucklehead... and loves you.
Count me in the number who thanks both he and his wife for their unbelievable bravery.

Thanks for your post! Blessings to you and your family,
and the sacrifices they've made are much appreciated!
Thank them VERY much for their service!
We wish you the best in your "life after Clemson"..
my related two cents...although worth alot more!
Both my Mom and my Dad were WWII Veterans!
My Mom, in the Army Nurse Corp...
Dad, ARMY, D-Day, Tank Recon, and 5 Bronze Stars.
I appreciate them much more now that they have passed on.
'miss them alot.
Go Tigers!!!

I always looked at it this way, no one was ever going to whip my butt as badly as he used to. Thanks to him I was never scared to stand up for myself. Guess that's what big brothers are supposed to do plus he set a great example for me. He's a CU grad twice over. Great post
