USO Canteen FReeper Style...Salutes One of Our Own....June 25,2002
FRiends of the USO Canteen FReeper Style and Snow Bunny

Posted on 06/25/2002 2:31:57 AM PDT by Snow Bunny


Today at the USO Canteen FReeper Style is a very special day. We have all heard that once a Marine always a Marine and that is more true than naught.

There is no finer example of a Marine and a FReeper than LadyX . Her travels in life and into the lives of others has been numerous. Today join us in celebrating LadyX and her 50 years as a Marine.

Many of you have written to me of your appreciation for knowing LadyX and how today marks 50 years since she became a Marine. This is surprise to LadyX and OUR thank to you LadyX, for serving our country and for being a wonderful FReeper and friend.

Her service was during the Korean Conflict in the United States Marine Corps, instructing Women Marine recruits in classroom subjects, and later as a military wife.

With the Marine Corps at its greatest buildup then, for Korean combat, Women Marines freed men for their primary role - to protect our Republic and its ideals.


This is one of my favorite posts that LadyX made.
I saved it and cherish her words.

I always enjoy seeing the way that you articulate your thoughts in such an eloquent and graceful manner. You have a gift of expression. Thank you for coming here and sharing that with us.

Hi Mom! I was thrilled to see how your friends have honored you -- you deserve it! I'm so very proud of you.

I especially appreciate the values that you and Dad have instilled in me. I've instilled them in my son and your legacy lives on...

Love,

Yah, you're right. That bitter cold and the looooooooong hours of darkness in the winter would be enough to depress just about anybody. Did the military know about SAD then? If so, what did they do about it? I would think the only thing you could do would be to work indoors under the brightest lights possible. What a bummer. Even in Valdez, the days were super short in the winter. We lived in the shadow of a mountain that was about a mile away, and from Thanksgiving until Valentine's Day, we never saw the sun. We were in the shade all winter long. The kids went to school in the dark and came home in the dark. Very depressing.

LOL! When we were very small, my dad took us to Alaska for the first time (1944). I remember playing outside until WAY late, even as a small child (Of course, in Juneau, if it was summer and it wasn't RAINING, you were outside, regardless of your age!).

I was born that same year!

I remember going down the street to the corner store as well. This was the early '70s, I was definitely younger than five since I hadn't started school yet...

I'm lucky to live in a very close neighborhood with no through streets and a gate, but we still make sure there's at least one adult supervising if the kids are playing in the front yards.

You can't be too careful, that's for sure! It's sad that we have to live this way.
