My Army nephew was part of Shock & Awe, and there is a navy nuclear engineer in my family.
I am a Veteran, so were both of my husbands, several of my brothers, and many others in my family.
There is a Marine in my family who has had 3 tours in Afghanistan. He's home now, thank goodness!
Peace! to all!
