Leaving something or someone you love is hard to do. For 17 years we have been a Marine Corps family. My husband has been flying F-18s most of that time. It has been a great time for us. We traveled all over the U.S. and he traveled all over the globe. We have met so many great folks and stayed friends with many of them. We have parted company and reconnected many times. It just seems that we can pick up right where we left off with friends we made along the way. But now it is time to say good-bye. VMFA-142, the squadron my husband went to Iraq with, is closing its doors. Thanks for a great time, USMC. We will all miss it!
