Happy Veteran's Day!!!

"We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." - Winston Churchill

[and I'll add "and women" :) ]

Happy Veteran's Day to all the Vets I know - Thank you to all of you, living and deceased.

And to those of you still serving in our military this day - God bless you and your families and may He always keep you safe!

Semper Fi!

And, since this day always has me thinking back to my time in the Marine Corps, I thought I'd share some pics of me "back in the day" [circa 1989]! ;)

Here is the Monkey Mama in her Camouflage Uniform:



Here is me with some of my Woman Marine Friends at Camp Lejeune, NC [Monkey Mama is on the far left]:



Here is a pic of my sister and I. It isn't a great pic, but it is the only one I can find of me in my dress uniform. I wish I had more pics from back then. [I need to check with my mom and see what she has! I bet she has better ones than these].
