About Me
Latest Read
West is a very thorough historian and descriptive writer. Being the civilian I am, I tend to use a map and keep a short, ongoing set of notes to manage the military vernacular, but it's very worth it if you want to understand what really happened at the beginning of the Iraqi war and what transpired there and here politically since which brings us to this point.

Snapping to, throwing salute.
Each and every one has my eternal gratitude, and that extends to all the families as well.
Great video, Hope. On my return trip from NY I spend my Armed Forces Day by listened to the audio book "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell, another good ole’ Texas boy. It was a sobering read about a SEAL team. Three Navy Cross’s and the MOH for their efforts. Sixteen men died trying to save them, too. God bless those who do this stuff. Everyday is Armed Forces Day to me.
This is a holiday I'm not sure most people are even aware of - unless you've served or are a family member of someone who has. Actually, this was always my favorite day when I was in as it really was a celebration of service - packed with fun stuff and family events!
