I want to thank all of my relatives that have served in the Armed Services, Police, Fire and Medical fields. Without these sacrifices, we would not be allowed to live the life we live today!
In my immediate family, my Father served in the Navy for 20 years and retired as a CPO in the 1970’s. He sailed on many cruises on aircraft carriers during his years in the Navy. He was on the Lexington, Shang Ri La, and Enterprise to name a few of the carriers that he would serve on. His job was to keep the planes ready for action and to make repairs to the planes as these returned from their missions. He would serve early on in the Vietnam War.
Other Family members would served are;
- Brother Served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. He worked on electronics and served on Destroyers in the seas around Vietnam
- Brother in Law served in the Marines during the Vietnam War and achieved the rank of Master Sargent. He would be wounded twice during the conflict and the second time would be critical but not fatal
- My Dad’s Brothers would serve in the Army and Air Force
- My Mother’s Brother would serve during the Korean War
- My Cousin’s Husband would serve as a Police Officer in Arizona
- Many of my ancestors served in the Wars and Conflicts, which appear and will appear in this Blog
I appreciate the freedom they have given me by being an active role in providing protection to the Country that I love.
Please join with me as we say THANK YOU!

There were more than four reasons people came to the new world .. you should read about the Atlantic slave trade and the many ship companies that were extreamly profitable because of it . And you will learn that millions of people came here by force and worked this great land of ours . First by planting Rice tobacco then cotton…. establishing the greatest world economy the world had ever seen at that time…this was human cargo. Stacked in ships like spoons. And insured like cars are today …. and sold in many markets in new Orleans , memphis . Charleston and even Newyork city……I can go on and on about our American history…. let’s tell the entire truth about our ancestors in this great country of ours… I would be glad to fill you in on facts about the arrival of many people who helped to make this new world great!
