Let No Soldier Stand Alone - in honor of Veteran's Day

The Arlington Ladies - who are they?They are an all volunteer force of wives, widows and daughters of servicemen who attend every military funeral at Arlington National Cemetary.

Each Arlington Lady, generally, spends one day a month at Arlington.     The Arlington Ladies came into existence in 1948 when the Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force and his wife were walking through a national cemetery. The "Mrs" noticed that some servicemen were being…See More

"The Fort Myer Thrift Shop also has a good selection of uniforms. I guess Fort Belvior has a thrift shop, but I don't know where it is. Anyone out there know? We also like to donate those worn in the knees, faded pants to organizations like…"

you can....why pay all that money for a brand new uniform when you can get lighty worn ones (and sometimes even new ones) for far less than the uniform shop price???It is really amazing what the thrift shop has to offer. At the old Bolling, the new JBAB base the AFOWC Thrift Shop, has prices for uniforms at a HUGE bargain. Just had a young army man come in and not believe the prices he saw - he will be bringing back his "brandy" new purchases to the uniform shop and stocking up on the ones from…See More

A quick getaway anyone?

Being in Virgnia Beach over the last week reminded me of what a great time fall is there. While fall draws to near, why not think about a spring or summer visit? There are Cccommodations available on the numerous military installations in the area. There's Fort Story on the north end by the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay. The historic Cape Henry lighthouse is located there and open to the public. On the Atlantic side is Dam Neck Combat Training Center. Visitors quarters are available depending…See More

London Calling

We have been on a vacation or as the jolly ole' Brits call it a holiday. The first stop was London for a quick two nights. It had been so many years since we had been in London. I'd been to the UK in more recent times but not London.We easily found a hotel online in Earls Court - the southwest side of London for about 100 USD a night. The accommodation was small but in an excellent location and spotlessly clean. Princess Di even lived in Earls Court at one time.Landing in Heathrow is no…See More

In my last blog, I said that next up was South Africa....I was fortunate enough to live there for four years from 1996-2000. My husband took the US Naval Attache posting at the US Embassy. Home there was Pretoria but with the South African Navy in Cape Town  many a days were spent in the Cape. Cape Town could easily be voted one of the prettiest places in the world. And as a military spouse, I highly recommend an Attache posting wherever it may be. I would do it all over again in a… Continue
