I love hockey and baseball. My favorite team in the NHL is the Detroit Red Wings. My favorites in MLB are; American League - Detroit Tigers; National League - Chicago Cubs. I'm a huge Tarheel fan and live for Carolina Basketball.
I also like to ride my motorcycle when I have free time. Nothing like the wind in your face on a country road to help you forget all that is going on. It's just you and the wind.
I also love history and anything that relates to it. I do a lot of POW/MIA research. Growing up during the 60s, I am most familiar with the Vietnam War. I am also very involved with politics. If you don't vote, it's telling our soldiers past, present, and future that their service does not matter.

Music
Being a former Army musician, I have an appreciation for all types of music. It really depends on what kind of mood I'm in. I especially love jazz and big band music. But nothing beats what I grew up with, classic rock.
One of my dreams is to conduct the Armed Forces Medley at the National 4th of July Concert in Washington, DC with the National Symphony Ochestra, then sitting back and watching the fireworks during the 1812 Overture.

I am a POW/MIA activist. Since 1985, it has been an honor to work with the different organizations I belong to assisting our POW/MIAs and their families.
I am a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, qualifying with the Korea Defense Service Medal. I was appointed in 2007-08 as NC State POW/MIA Chairman and a member of the VFW National POW/MIA Committee.
Since 2004, I have enjoyed working as the NC State Coordinator for the National League of POW/MIA Families in Washington, DC. The League was formed in May 1970 and is responsible for the POW/MIA flag you see today. The League’s sole purpose is to obtain the release of all prisoners, the fullest possible accounting for the missing and repatriation of all recoverable remains of those who died serving our nation during the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia.
The League also works to spread public awareness about the POW/MIA issue and lobby Congress to ensure policy is kept in place to account for America's missing servicemembers and seek the release of all Americans held as prisoners.
Our POW/MIAs and their families need your help. Become aware and educated, write letters to your elected officials and local newpapers asking for the release of all prisoners and the fullest possible accounting of all recoverable remains from all wars. Remind them this is a humanitarian mission, not a military one. Each letter sent and received provides more hope for our missing heroes and their families.
You may view my blog that is updated with daily news of the POW/MIA issue from around the world at The NC Department of POW/MIA Affairs. There you may subscribe to daily updates via email.
America is the home of the free because of the brave. It is our responsibility to keep the promise America makes each of our soldiers, to leave no one behind.
Become informed. Become involved. Become a POW/MIA advocate.
Who I'd like to meet:
Roy Williams, any Detroit Red Wing, President Bush, the Pope, any returned POW, any family member of a MIA/KIA.

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages...
Just to let you know she wrote me & said it was an accident. I guess I should not assume. I have to admit I am on the defensive side now bc so many people have cut me down and/or deleted me bc of how I feel about Obama. Well just wanted to let you know. Have a good one.
Is this the bumper sticker u were talking about? I ordered two of them haha. Yeah listen to this. This lady, Supporting our military & loved ones. She sent me a request & deleted me right after she seen my bulletins. I sent her a letter telling her that was not very supportive of you, you are suppose to support us no matter how we feel about Obama. I happen to be a Navy Mom & she is going to delete me bc of how I feel? That is NOT right. She added me back after I sent her that message, but I already know now I do not like her. Have a good day.
I really appreciate your support and helping spread the word - as a group we can really make a difference! Hope you are doing well and you have a great weekend!
