Thanks everyone we are planning on his homecoming and I expressed your congrats to him as well and he said to make sure and extend his thanks to everyone on VJ.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.
