Memorial Day is always a day that we reflect on the military members that have gone too soon. Gone but not forgotten because they are the reason we live free. As a proud Navy Wife I want the boys to really understand the meaning of the day. It is not the start of summer or a free day off school. It is a day to reflect and be thankful! For the town of Brunswick this was also a day to thank the entire base. It was the last time that the sailors would be marching down Main St in uniform, singing cadence on Memorial Day. The town came out in force to thank all the sailors for all they do and to say goodbye. As of December you will no longer hear the roar of a P-3 flying over Brunswick, you will no longer see those sailors coming home to greet their families after a 6 month deployment, and you will no longer hear cadence coming down Main St. It was a bittersweet day for many. But for me, as I walked around taking it in, I heard many thank yous for being a Navy wife and for my service as well as my spouse. For me it was a beautiful day!

but - no man is an island. it is the privledge and responsibility of you as the wife to care for your warrior and maintain the homstead in his absence
my love and respect to you both.
