I never wanted a child of mine to have to move so often, but so far they have been lucky. He has actually been at Pendleton for 9 years (with 4 - 8 month deployments). They will be in Virginia for at least 3 years. After that-- who knows? "At least they don't have children.

    JuJu Sad, isn't it? Most of the bases I grew up on are closed now. The end of the Cold War brought many base closings in Europe, and even here in th US. Anyway, I have photos and happy memories.

They have clearly violated their oaths of office & now they are trying to bury their evil deeds by threatening the careers of the heroic, selfless, men & women in the Intelligence Community/Military/State Dept. who risk everything to protect us. Absolutely the most dishonorable, reprehensible actions. There is a family motto of "Loyalty Above All Else, Except Dishonor" and the Obama Admin. has obviously never really understood honor or loyalty to the citizens, nor the foundational high ideals of America or the men & women who protect those ideals with their lives. The Obama Admin. is a disgrace to America.  less

At the beginning of the race they had 26 seconds of  silence to  remember those precious souls lost at Sandy Hook...which led to them to trying to take our guns.

CA say that they have 19,000 people and 40, 000 guns on backlog, do to budget problems they don't have the man power to take the 40,000 guns. Law suit have already been filed.
