It is our 45th wedding anniversary today. I managed to marry a woman tough enough to put up with
me and become mother to both a minister and a Marine! Still have the watch in the photo below which I had in high school years before our wedding day. Ugly as it is it still runs despite not having been serviced in 40 years.
This is a doubly important day in our house.
United States Marine Corps birthday. Yea!
Though I didn't serve, we're big Marine fans here. Our youngest son has been in since 2009 with three deployments including two in Afghanistan .
He's currently in Marine Corps Reserve. He was in Quantico a couple of weeks ago and paid his respects to another Marine hero while in the area.
