Murphy, NC Welcome To The Mountains

On Sunday February 5th I arrived at Camp LeJuene NC to watch my son embark from a bus full of returning Marines...

You see my son was deployed on March 23, 2011 on the USS Mesa Verde and he was part of an historic 10 1/2 month deployment.

Emotions were high and Marines for the first time got to see their newborn sons and daughters...

I meet my Facebook Marine mom Luann after months of e-mails, Skype sessions and Facebook. Luann son Tyler and my son became the best of friends while aboard ship. I felt like I knew her for years...we supported each other while our sons were away. A friendship I will always treasurer... 

It was quite an experience...one I will never forget!!!!!!

Thank you to all of our men and women who serve in our Military for your sacrifice and dedication....OOOOOH RAHHHHHH

The Military has a wonderful tool for family and friends to keep in touch with their loved ones in the Military.

It's called MOTOMail.us - You can now send an e-mail to your family or friends that are deployed in any branch of the military and it will be download printed out and had delivered usually within 24 hours. MUCH FASTER THAN MAIL....

This is an awesome way to keep in touch and great way to tell your loved ones that you are there to support them and they are always in your hearts and mind. A great motivational tool with lasting memories!!

My son PFC Ryan Kotchenreuther a Marine, was deployed to the Mediterranean a few weeks ago. He will not be home until March. I am so thankful that the Military has this tool for me to use to keep in touch with him.

GOD BLESS ALL OF OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN AND BE SAFE!!!!!

As a Marine Mom whose son is about to be deployed to the Mediterranean, I recently was sent this link and wanted to pass it on to everyone.

Have you ever seen one of our military walking past you and wanted to convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or it felt awkward?

Recently, a gentleman from Seattle created a gesture which could be used and has started a movement to get the word out. 

Please everybody take just a moment to watch.... The Gratitude Campaign...
