As a Marine Corps brat, former wife of a Marine and friend to MANY service folk – today isn’t about burgers and suntan lotion for me.
So if you’ve served our country or loved someone who has, I say THANK YOU.

Lisa, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have a great-niece, who is in basic training right now at Fort Jackson, SC. She is the first woman to serve from our family. We are very proud of her! Her name is Tiffany Schmeltz.
Lois, LOUD thanks to Tiffany AND her family!
Poem written by me for Memorial Day 2010
Oh God, for those who gave their lives,
who fought and died for nationss free,
oh let them now rejoin their wives
and dearest ones in memory.

“Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground.
Mother Earth has swallowed you; lay your weapon down.
Find the cost of freedom; buried in the ground.
Mother Earth has swallowed you; lay your body down.”
