I had a hard time believing that I'm the only veteran here, that is, until I started reading how old some of the members are.

I was an Air Force wife for 2 1/2 years, 1988-1990, married to a medic stationed with the 1st Medical Group at Langley AFB. So, even though I am not a veteran myself, I feel attached to that branch of service!

All the men in my family are/were Navy...

My mom's father and brothers all US Navy - my dad Italian Navy (he was born there)...

And now my little brother, Lt JG US Navy 2002 - current.
