Blog Introduction

It is with a sincere appreciative spirit that I begin this blog.  So many in my family have served in varying capacities in the United States military.  My father was a World War II Army Veteran, my father-in-law a Korean War Navy veteran.  I have nieces and nephews in the Navy, the Air Force and the Army National Guard.  My husband served 25+ years in the Army and in the NH Army National Guard and our daughter is concurrently serving in the National Guard and pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy.

Let's start this blog with a big thank you for all soldiers who have served and who are still serving in the military.  Thank you for your service and thanks also should go to their families who love and support their choices, their missions, their successes and their shortcomings.

In an effort to keep this first post short, I would like only to add how important the safety of our soldiers and their families is.   Any and all information shared on this blog should take this into consideration.  Information considered potentially detrimental to our soldiers, their mission and their families should be kept off of this public forum.  Thank you, fellow bloggers, for your cooperation in this matter.

I would like to invite each visitor to share a story, engage with others and help me to keep the information flowing as to the great contributions and sacrifices that each of our service members make as part of their call to duty.
