I have so much respect for his wife as she "keeps the home fires burning" while he is gone. We always must pray for the ones serving overseas and those serving at home as they wait for their loved ones.

I love how you've woven military themes with true romance!<br /><br />I grew up twenty miles from an Army base, Fort Pickett, near Blackstone, Virginia. My parents still live in their honeymoon cottage. Many members of my family worked as Civilians for the Army so I have always held great love and respect for the military. My daddy was in the National Guard and had drill one weekend a month and trained during summer camp two weeks every year. For his full-time job, he was an electronics technician, serving in a Civilian capacity for the Army. He was trained in the elite Army Signal Corps. My husband isn't a veteran, but he holds a Master's Degree from Syracuse and is Deputy Director for Contract Policy for the Navy. As you can tell, I'm proud of the two most important men in my life and my family's military connections!Tamela Hancock Murrayhttp://www.tamelahancockmurray.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301018938387900957.post-37827891309444060502010-03-01T08:47:34.794-06:002010-03-01T08:47:34.794-06:00My father was a lifer Marine Corps officer.

My dad was in the air force, and I've lived on quite a few military bases, where there's a camaraderie among the families who understand each other. And retirement definitely is a culture shock! There's an organization called militarybrats.com for people like us. As soon as I joined, I was contacted by people I knew in elementary school. It's really a cool group.Debby Maynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04593507686779363321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301018938387900957.post-4048760895804998222010-03-01T06:03:03.102-06:002010-03-01T06:03:03.102-06:00#1: I love this cover!

The bowling makes the pic look refreshing (to me, anyway).<br /><br />#2: I've never served in the military, but my dad was in the military and I have fond memories of living on the military base in Maryland. When he retired from the Army we moved and I had major culture shock! LOL! I found that the people on the military base were more open and friendly than living with civilians - but that could've just been my experience.Cecelia Dowdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173806883218875753noreply@blogger.com
