You all are so great. I am learning about these women who are also brave. I guess what we have in common is that we both volunteered to do something dangerous... join the military which is an honorable thing, or pick up that first drink or drug or whatever. Those choices are a lot like a box of chocolates as Forrest Gump would say..."you never know what you're going to get.

Decided to do some journaling last night and what I discovered was...

most of these women here are really young. Most of these women have babies. If you count in years on the mother's age and their children's age, well, let's just say technically these poor babies were not planned. In some instances, could could actually say these babies are r*pe babies as the mother's were not 18 yet. Also, a lot of them were conceived when the mother was under the influence of drink/substance. Glad these women got off the streets and are now in a safe place with their children.

P.S. It was my pleasure serving our country to keep us free! I actually had the time of my life and it's the best decision I ever made to date!

Hugs to all my fellow Americans as well as all the other people that come on here that can't enjoy the freedoms that us Americans can. May you too one day be free!
