Today was "Flag Day" - the day that Foreign Service Specialists are given the flag of their assigned country. Out of the 6 bids we placed, we were granted our first choice: We're going to DC!!!
Not only did we get DC, but Billy was the class speaker in today's graduation ceremony. Out of several specialists, Billy was selected to give a speech. A few days ago, Billy had been advised by the course coordinators that he'd been selected as class speaker, but it was kept a secret from the specialists until today. In front of ambassadors, the dean of FSI, CDO's, GSO's and his colleagues, he gave an amazing speech.
Note: He'd never mention his being selected to speak because he doesn't like to boast, but I'm very proud of him. You da bomb...baby!!!
There's a big celebration tonight at "Irelands Four Fields" an Irish pub in Cleveland Park. We're gearing up to have a fantastic evening...DC style.
