Thomas Maynard, left, sits for breakfast with his son Brandon Maynard at restaurant at Best Way Travel Center Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2008.

These guys were a lot of fun to chat with. Thomas (the father) told me the story of his son's miracle birth. After loosing two babies when they were a few weeks old, Brandon was the first healthy surviving child. Thomas, being a very proud parent said Brandon was always a good, well behaved child and is now bravely serving our country.
