The Thin White Line

GFR Clown Team 2011

These are some of my boys back home, golly I miss ‘em.

…and did you know that the reason why the dress blues are blue with red stitching is because during the Revolutionary war the Americans took the red coats with blue stitching off of the English soldiers and turned them inside out, which reversed the color scheme? My Marine told me that one.

“Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Stacy Hunt spends one last moment with her husband before departing on a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan’s Helmand province on Marine Corps Base Kanehoe Bay in Hawaii, Aug. 28, 2011.”

As a Nation, we talk of supporting our troops, sending our boys off to war, remembering the men who wear the uniform. But we often forget our women who proudly wear our Nation’s uniform as well. When talking about our troops, please remember that women fight too, that women leave behind their families too, and that women don’t come home too.

Dave and mine’s gift to his Uncle and Wife for their wedding tomorrow!! This is the second time I’ve made this gift as a wedding gift, and by and large, this one turned out so much better then the other one. I’m actually excited to give them this gift! Dave is also giving them a book about the Air Wing division of the Marine Corps since that’s what his Uncle is doing. (He’s technically Dave’s Uncle, but the kid is younger then Dave is…it’s his Stepmom’s brother, and he’s adopted, that’s why.)

…and another book that changed my life. This is the book that started my thought process of joining the military. I read this book when I was in middle school.

Thanks to this book, visiting the Amalfi Coast, Itay, is on my Bucket List.

They finally found the problem with Ford…
