Thanks for sharing the pics. I was fortunate to see my daughter at TAPS - I was bringing her back to her barracks when I was out visiting her and just as she was running up the sidewalk, TAPS started and that newbie soldier of mine stopped dead in her tracks and saluted the flag - no palm! I just sat in the car and cried proud tears. And I don't think she will ever forget her DI's names - heh! Wonderful post!! Thanks for sharing the pics.

I too, stand straight and tall, heels together, and very quiet during our national anthem. I have even been known to shed a tear during the salute. Once again, good post! Go Navy! gawfer Good post, Brother.

Smith (TI) and SSgt. Serdinia (DI), FLT 586, 3711th BMTS, NOV 1981 .... SSgt Serdinia was quite, clear, how to salute. She was _TOUGH_ and made sure we knew that the salute wasn't just something you "do", it says who you are and who we all are. And, it is a sign of respect to those before us, to one another, to our leaders, to our subordinates, and ultimately those who shall come after us. And not ONE of us were ready to disrespect her. She took over our flight about half the way though our training. We all bonded even tighter because she was left alone to train us all, by herself. I can still see the brim of her hat ! :) When she yelled she was clear, when she talked she commanded attention. She made me a better airman, and later a leader ... Hey Buck, I do remember: TSgt.

Our little lady just keeps us laughing all the time. I'll have to post a picture of her ... for the dog lovers out there! Oh, and cat lovers, Taffy's favorite buddy is our 14 year old mutt-cat Clemmie! My wife got her from the cat rescue moons ago, and she is almost like a Maine Coon (they're bigger cats that'll play fetch). In fact, they are close in their markings/coloring ... She, Taffy, is the best with our two daughters. We got Taffy as a puppy when our youngest was almost 3 years old. Taffy is sooo tolerant and just licks the both of them to death. She'll sit, proudly, in their baby doll stroller, or dressed up in the whackiest outfits - Taffy will play with them no matter the level of humiliation! Patrick, I'm sorry to hear that Rosie is no longer with you. When you have a pet like that, it is hard to see them go. And it is especially hard when you are used to them snuggling under the top blanket/comforter, curl up _VERY_ close to you, and go to sleep. Thanks for dropping by my blog!

This post got me choked up. I came here because of a comment you left on my blog about the little black terrier. I don't know for sure if it is a Rat Terrier. Two years ago I had to euthanize my little black terrier, Rosie, because she was suffering. I did not know what she was when I adopted her from the pound but, according to a dog book that I had, she was an American Toy Terrier. I don't care if they are called Rat Terriers or Toy Terriers. They are the smartest, funniest and most loyal dogs. I’ve just been reading your blog for the first time. This post got me choked up.
