Welcome Home...
For those that just arrived, Welcome home!  For those that have been here before welcome back. We are your hosts, BJ 'n Cindy. We own and operate this site as well as the sister sites.
As a retired Marine couple, we know just how new and puzzling, and sometimes how lonely or difficult it can be to find what you need. That is why we created this network and filled it with all kinds of resources to help you find whatever you may need... and to find one another.
So once again Welcome Home...

WASHINGTON, May 15, 2012 - New authority in this year's Defense Department authorization act allows the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps reserves to be called to duty in response to natural disasters or emergencies in the homeland, and also to be mobilized for extended periods to support theater security missions around the world.
Except for a crisis involving a weapon of mass destruction, the reserves historically have been prohibited from providing a homeland disaster response, Army Lt. Gen. Jack C. Stultz, the Army Reserve chief, told reporters yesterday.

Military Wives,
Thank you for your ongoing support of our service men and women. The work you do is commendable and greatly appreciated. As a leader committed to serving the needs of our service men and women, we need your help to Carry the Load and help us bring back the true meaning of Memorial Day.
Carry the Load is a non-profit founded former Navy Seals to raise funds and awareness for Veterans and their surviving families. We are currently "rucking", or walking, through Virginia on our 1,700-mile relay from West Point, New York to Dallas, Texas to help honor and highlight the sacrifices of America's heroes as we approach Memorial Day. Wednesday, May 2, we walked with many 9/11 families and the Iraqi & Afghanistan Veterans Association to ground zero for a memorial service and gathered in Arlington on Sunday, May 6th to pay our respect to the great American heroes that gave their last full measure of service for our nation.
