On Memorial Day...

...I must take a moment to say thank you to some folks....
Mom (USAF)...glass ceiling what????? you never let me think that there was a ceiling that would stop me...
Dad (USN and USAF)...calculus???? you always made it seem so easy...but you never let me think that I couldn't do it...
Grampa (USN)...GO NAVY! BEAT army! ENOUGH SAID!
Grandpa (RCAF)...I never knew you...but the pictures and memories passed on speak volumes...
Aunt M (National Guard)...running? exercise? weekends you gave up while in college...you ROCK!
Uncle T (USN)...you followed your brother and your heart
DH (USN)...you know I love ya babe!
BiL (USN)...we call them ships...you call them boats...
My dearest friends (USN)...kick some ass!
High School pals (USAF, USMC)...there is no such thing as the "chair force"...SEMPER FI!
Co-workers (USN)...stand strong!
There are too many that shall remain nameless at this point...family members that served that I I'm not aware of...friends that I have lost touch with that have served...shipmates deployed right now...You all are applauded!

Last, but certainly not least, to my Mom, my Dad, my Sisters (A and H), my in-laws, my friends...and most importantly my Hubby and my Daughter...you supported me in service for 10 years...and while the Good-Byes were painful...the Welcome Home(s) were amazing! Every email, every letter, every care package...you made it easier for me to do my job. I may no longer serve...but my thanking you for your support shall never end.

On this day...even if this post is late...I ask all of you to just say thank you to those that have served and those that support those that serve...those two words mean more than you could ever imagine!
