Hello, and thank you for visiting! Despite the title of this site, it is not a collection of
'About Me' pages. In a way, the site's all about me - it's about things I care about, things that have made an impact on my life, and things that I am constantly learning more about. My site came about when I got married to a Marine. When my husband was subsequently shipped to Okinawa, Japan, for a year, I found many wonderful military support sites and groups, and I created a page to share them with my visitors. Through these sites and groups, I started getting more involved with POW/MIA and veterans' issues, and thus evolved pages dedicated to these two very special groups of people. Along the way, I have also created memorials for the USS Cole tragedy and for the events of 9/11/01 (a very special day to me, because it is also my mother's birthday). And, last but definitely not least, there is a section of my site full of pictures of my family and friends...some of the most important people in my life.

    As you progress through my site, you'll find that there is no common theme to all of my pages. I couldn't find any one theme that would reflect every section of the site. Instead, each section has its own theme relevant to the topic of the section, with all the pages related to that section having the same theme. Some people find this distracting; I find that it helps differentiate between the various sections of the site, and reflects the various facets of my own personality.

    All in all, I've had a lot of fun, and shed a few tears, building this site. I hope you enjoy visiting it as much as I've enjoyed creating it. Before you go, please take a moment to sign my guestbook. Thank you, and please come again!
