Living with the marines!

 I have been staying with my sister for a little while in southern
California at her house on a marine base. She is a former marine and her husband is a marine. Living on a military base is totally awesome. Every time we drive on base they check ID’s and make sure the car is registered to be on base. It’s just a little thing happens every day but being a civilian and seeing how it works is pretty cool. On Sundays, instead of the normal American flag that is hung at the base’s front gate there’s a HUGE flag. Another emotion you feel here is happiness, when you see all the Marine Wives whose husbands are coming home from
Iraq. Huge signs welcoming the Marines home all over base “Welcome home Daddy!” My feelings about the war in
Iraq are pretty mixed but visiting my sister on base has really taught me, if anything to support the soldiers.
