I was a military dependant and past military wife, (USAF.) I am also the widow of a veteran, who passed 2 years ago (Army.) I want to join because I am a true patriot, I want to honor not only my husband but all our military.  I love our military, and their families, because I lived my whole young life as a part of them. My father fought in Korea and Vietnam, a brother in the first Gulf war, and many other famiy member who also served in the military is and always will be a part of my life.
