That is very cool. I should do that for my dad's birthday.

[Stickman]

That was really cool of him to photoshop your face onto that soldier.

[JeffJ]

Wow, that really is an extremely thoughtful and nice gift for a dad to give his son. Did you have any idea he was doing this or was it a total surprise?
And thats a great pic of you in it.
