This is my story of how I have done at letting go of some things. I started this blog when my son was in High School , during a deployment and facing big life changes. I have come out the other side of those changes. Emptynest, long since empty. Our son is now a Lt in the USMC and now we are facing exiting the Marine Corps possibly in the next few years. One thing I have learned is life is constantly in flux, so this is my life...in flux.

24th MAU They Came In Peace: 1983 Marine Barracks Bombing
I was living on Camp Lejeune when this happened with my sister and her husband who was is a Marine. It was like 9/11 on board base. I will never forget, we should never forget.
I remember this event. My brother was a Marine a Camp Legeune. We knew he was headed to Beirut; assigned tot he headquarters. Then the awful news rocked the world. e had heard reports of a Marine killed with our same unique last name...it was days (before computers and cell phones)before we received a call from my brother that they had gotten delayed in route and arrived right after the bombing. We did find out later that the Marine killed was a distant relative.
