Thomas has always had a special relationship with his Great Grandpa Don Butler
Grandpa Don served in WWII as an air bomber. He wanted to give Thomas his wings as a gift for getting his Eagle.
Grandpa Don has been sick and wasn't able to go to his court of honor so we had a special one at his house.

It was a very special night listening to Grandpa Don talk about his experiences in the war and why these wings were so special. It meant so much to Thomas!
Thomas surprised Grandpa Don with a mentor pin for being such a wonderful inspiration to him.
Grandpa Heaps and Grandpa Don pinned Thomas' Eagle on and Uncle Steve put his neckerchief on...sealed with a big ol' kiss!
I love this picture...
Great men!
The girls being a little goofy with Grandpa Heaps (what am I going to do with them?)
The amazing world of texting brought Jac over from across the room to Uncle Steve to give him a cookie! Thanks Aunt Deb! You are the best for coming to support Thomas at BOTH court of honors!
We are so lucky to have Thomas in our lives. He is a great example of hard work, dedication, compassion, and love.
You are an amazing young man!

How touching! What a great example Thomas is - and what a great family he is a part of.
