Over 40 years of friendship, you have been there for me even when I didn't want you there. You were constantly praying for me. You have been more than a friend. You have been a sister.

To All the Amazing Men and Women currently serving and retired, Especially for those who made the ultimate price. Thank you for your service. Thank you for defending our freedom so writers like me are free to continue sharing our stories. Thank you for your sacrifice.

To my Co-workers, All of you have been very much a part of this. Talking and sharing with all of you helped when words were hard to pen. The interactions with people you see every day are the best material sometimes. Thank you all for being my cheerleaders!
