Thank you and I thank you back for being a teacher! WE NEED YOU!

I never felt left out and I was not treated any different than you are treated by your male coworkers or friends. The military camaraderie and fellowship overrides race, sex, religion or national origin. There is no PC foolishness but the importance of the mission and the understanding that victory can be only obtained only when acting as an unit. I wish the same belief can be transplanted into civilian life where everyone understands that our success as a nation can only be attained as AMERICANS, no hyphenation!

Agree! BTW my Dad was a lifer (Air Force) so I my early life was on military bases. Back in the early 60s I had kids of all races and ethnicities in my classes at school. I was surprised when he retired and we went to civilian schools and they were just starting to integrate. In the military it was a way of life.
