Dressing For the Drive.

I recently asked Sgt. Honda what he wears when driving the general. He told me that it depends on what event the general is attending. Apparently, if they are going to a military function then Sgt. Honda wears his Service “A” or Alpha uniform. I have only seen him in this uniform once. It was [...]

Merry Christmas – Coming Home.

The war on terrorism has been long and tedious. It is not over by a long shot. But for quite a few families, the chance to spend the holidays together is now a reality. Homecoming is a special event. I’ve lived through the waiting. Still waiting for another. I found this story especially uplifting in [...]

Thanksgiving – Some Gave All.

Tomorrow we will sit down and give thanks for all that we have. Most of us will spend time with loved ones and friends. Some may not be as lucky. I will be privileged to spend another year with my parents, Grandma M and Grandpa DingDon, my sister Crafty and her husband, my daughter Cinderella, [...]

Walking With The Wounded.

I recently heard about a group dedicated to bringing awareness and help from military returning from service with serious wounds and disabilities. Walking With The Wounded raises money for groups that help retrain military men and women for civilian life. Walking With The Wounded recently made news when two expedition leaders Ed Parker and Simon [...]

Dakota Meyer, Newest Marine Medal of Honor Recipient.

It is no surprise that Dakota Meyer says heĀ is not a hero. True heroes always play down what they did in combat. If they did not I think we would be in trouble. I am glad to see that more living service members are receiving the highest award available. They should not all have to [...]

One Month Away From 10 Years.

It is hard to believe that one month from now will be the 10th anniversary of 911. Hard to believe it took us 10 years to catch and kill Osama bin Laden. I am glad we did and I am glad we gotten rid of so many other evil people that want to kill us [...]

For The Father’s Serving Our Country.

This one made me cry. Especially thinking that someday I might have a grandchild doing something like this.

OpenSky and Operation Homefront.

I was recently contacted by a representative from Open Sky, a new shopping site. The site is filled with unique items such as toiletries, food and fun gifts. The reason I am writing this is Open Sky along with some very special curators have teamed up to have a very special sale on Thursday, May [...]

Same Old Song and Dance.

Not much new here except for the dog trouble that I posted about here and here. I have not heard from Cpl Honda since he left for training. I have talked to his girlfriend each weekend though and she talked to him last weekend. I sent him my phone number through Facebook and it is [...]

Sunday Brunch – Not.

I wrote about my weekend at juliannah by design. I can not rehash it here. I did speak to Cinderella and Butterfly this weekend. I also talked to Hippie Guy. I was hoping to speak to Cpl Honda but did not get a call. He is training in another country so it is possible that [...]
