...and the whole family was pretty proud of him for that accomplishment.
Later on, during our celebration at home, we gave him his gifts. He had a choice to make concerning his graduation gift from his mom and me. I put $200 cash in his graduation card, and I put a completed Legacy Life Member NRA nomination form in another envelope along with a check for $300 made out to my son. No matter what he got to keep the cash. The choice was would he go for the NRA legacy life membership, or would he opt for the check in the amount of $300 (the cost to me to buy him a legacy life membership). I told him he could not cash the check until next week (after next payday), and he asked for the week to think about it which was okay by me.
My wife was not too hot on the membership and asked what were the benefits of it. I printed up the NRA Membership Benefits webpage. My son read it to my wife. She seemed not too impressed, but then said a magazine subscription for the rest of his life seemed okay, and that the cost of $300 instead of the usual $1,000 seemed okay (she actually seemed impressed by that). Then my son read the last benefit listed on the page; the bit about how the NRA helps protect our right to keep and bear arms.
Once he read that last benefit, he said he wanted the membership. I asked if he was sure, and if he still did not want the week to think about it. He handed me back the $300 check I had made out to him. I'll use the money I was going to give him with that check to pay for the NRA Legacy Life Membership for him. His decision made me feel pretty proud of him for the second time today, he is a smart young man academically and indeed also in his actions.
All the best,
