Proud Papa | Craig Wolfley

A couple weeks ago I had the awesome moment of pinning the Ranger Tab on my oldest son’s shoulder. It was a trip right out of the “Family Circus,” 14 hours of donut-and-coffee fueled driving one way with a van full of Mom and little brothers and sisters that wanted to see the big moment.

After listening to a congratulatory speech from General David Petraeus at Fort Benning, Georgia, and a Ranger Demonstration team treated the crowd to a first class exhibition highlighting the unbelievable skills of the Rangers, dad got the honor of pinning the coveted Ranger Tab on.

Kyle Jacob Wolfley is his name, and there isn’t a prouder dad in all the land than this old hog here. He is currently a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army undergoing Airborne training, a graduate with honors from West Point, and a man I look up to. Strong, courageous, dedicated and humble, he is a much better son than I am a father. And I stand in awe of him.

Kyle’s 9-year old brother CJ summed it up best.

“Kyle’s a Ranger. The toughest of the tough!”

    Craig,
    Must admit that I did begin to tear up while hearing you mention the love and admiration that you have for your brave son Kyle.
    Awhile back,I heard or read that after hearing that his son had been murdered in Los Angeles…Dr.Bill Cosby stated”He was my hero.”
    love ya man. Dan”Old Lifter” Maloney
