Tomorrow, October 18th, my lovely wife and I will be observing our 50th Wedding Anniversary with the celebration actually being Saturday. It has required lots of love, understanding, forgiveness, being best friends, and relatively good health.

She married me 12 days after I returned from Vietnam and we had to be apart just 10 days later because I had to go to Parris Island, South Carolina to be a marksmanship instructor for Marine Corps recruits. She joined me a week later after I found an apartment in nearby Beaufort. We have been together ever since.

This post is completely unrelated to this forum but I am proud of our marriage. I hope that all of you that are married or will be can find the peace, love, and commitment that my wife and I have found in one another.
