I'm just guessing dad is deceased but this is FR and a black woman with six kids has to be a welfare case EVEN if she achieves greatness in the Marine Corps.

That was my thought, possibly a marine KIA. It's not mentioned, so, it might be sensitive to the family.

My thoughts exactly, God help us Free Republic can be a narrow minded little ghetto at times can't it?

If the woman was white there would be no questions, the assumption would be that this woman was a god fearing lady who's husband died or something. But no she's black so the petty little snarky back biting starts, disgusting, truly disgusting.

This woman is a hard working, upright, damned fine American patriot who is raising her beautiful daughters to be the same and all some people see here is a. . . no I can't say it, they should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

And for those of you too dumb to read a simple photo caption, the other woman is her NIECE!
