I was recently voted Outstanding Chief of Staff of the Ladies Auxiliary for the Department of Pennsylvania. This is a new award and I am the first to receive such an honor.
I enjoy what I do and I am honored to help the women and men who have served their country. God bless each and every one of you that sacrificed to give me the rights I enjoy today!

God Bless you too, Wendy
All of this seems a little "weird" (for lack of a better word) to me. I was discharged in 1968. Until just recently (what...45-46 years later?).....I was proud of my military service, but, it was just something I had to do and make the best of it, knowing that it was my part of helping this great nation be free. Millions of Americans have done the same thing, I was nothing special. I didn't dwell on it and I had many other things on my mind that were more important....like raising a family, getting my kids braces, and getting them a college education so they could be productive in society. Then, all of the sudden...my kids have college degrees and are doing well, and raising families of their own....(I just love my grandkids).. and I find myself of a senior age and spend a lot of time reflecting on my military adventure. I have spent more time thinking my 2 year draft commitment in the Army more in the past year than I have spent thinking about it is the prior 44 years.

Is this weird, or am I getting dementia???????? LOL
