It was nice to go back and see your other posts for the birthday of the Marines. I always feel that sense of pride when I see them in their uniforms but think about how young they all are. You had such great experiences when you were living outside the country.

My thanks to all the Marines (and the other service members) who have made such a difference in our world.

Joan, thank you so much. Our military families are such a small part of our communities but have meant so much. We do appreciate them and had a great time supporting and being supported by them overseas. There are Marines at every Embassy and yes, they are so young!
