First off, it's 29 palms in CA not 49..
My Dad fought in WW2 and my brother, who was my HERO, before he enlisted in the Marine Corps During Viet Nam. Thank god hey was needed in Asia and didn't do combat. He didn't like it.... OiY!
My Mom got involed with the Mothers of Marines. They's bake cookies and send packages, cards etc. to thier sons and sons who were'nt getting anything!! She became President of our chapter, so she could get direct info or she was always willing to help kids, hers and any others. So sad a cpl. mom's lost there SONS. I remember on of the ladies really well. She turned to the bottle and they lost touch.
So thats what made me think about any troops in CA that are stuck on base during holiday time. Vic, my daughter was dating a marine- my mom said tell him any of his buddies are more than welcome to come over!! Especially during holidays!!!!
Tracy, nice to see and meet you!! No way of getting her out? And just to hear 8 yrs. is so sad and scary!! Where is she going in Africa? I don't know why we don't take care of US! And then go to places in NEED!! Where genocide ect. is going on... Ahhhha.
Thanks and please lets keep some kind post about our kids. I'm learning A Lot
