It was a very emotional day. I don’t think Rader actually realized how hard cutting his hair would be…he was joking and laughing for the first two cuts, and then broke down into horrible, heart-wrenching tears for the last two cuts. I was a bit torn about how to handle it because I didn’t want to cry but when you see your 14 year old mancub breaking down, it’s hard not to join him.

He didn’t love his hair at first, but after spending the weekend looking at himself, I think he’s totally smitten now.

Happy Memorial Day, USA! Please take the time to thank a service member for his or her dedication to our freedom.
