Thanks girls. I slipped her introduction under a beautiful picture so I'm sure no one saw it. I should have been smarter and made her, her very own special post. :)

Thanks, Spookie, for introducing our newest military wife!
I am in the unique position, as some of us are, of having been in the military (USMC) and a military wife as well.

This is a wonderful place to be, full of Patriotic Americans, many veterans themselves or wives thereof who are dedicated to supporting our military men and women and all veterans.

A special responsibility is to extend our love to all NAM VETERANS, whose pain I shared at the time.
We KNOW the indignities heaped upon them by the nation.
It was directed to me as well at the time, up close and personally.

One of the most poignant memories I have was when Desert Storm veterans had a ticker tape welcome in New York City and they pointedly gave a tribute to the Vietnam veterans - the first recognition ever extended to them.
It was bittersweet, to say the least, and I cried like a baby all those years later.

My getting even is having three God and country-loving grown children who VOTE and work to make things right - and their children as well.
The tide WILL turn, God willing.
