Drew officially has a winning trial record, 1-0! The Navy jury (also known as the members) returned a verdict of not guilty yesterday in Drew's first court martial case. He has been working SO hard on this case and all of his hard work really paid off for his client. Since I have lots of leisure time over here I was able to watch the first full day of trial (where Drew delivered the opening statement) and the closing arguments. There aren't many courts martial on Guam. In fact, this was the first one in three years so it was a pretty big deal and a lot of people came out to show their support. I am so proud of my husband!
We went out for a celebratory dinner last night with everyone that worked on the case, even the attorneys from the other side. The JAG Corps is such a unique group of people and it was really nice to hang out with all of them. Today we're heading to the beach for a wetting down party for Drew's co-worker, Jen. She just recently made lieutenant so she's required to throw a party for all of her friends. It should be a fun afternoon on our tropical island.
By the way, Happy Veterans Day! Hope you take some time to remember & appreciate all of those who have served our country & all of their families who have worked so hard to support them. We have so much to be thankful for!!
