Every first and third Mondays there is a Veteran's Coffee hour in the OFH. Most of the 8-10 participants are Army Vets. Navy, Air Force and Marines represented by one each. It turns out that I'm not the only Marine in the building. There were rumors of another Marine resident in the OFH.
The rumor was substantiated as the other Marine came to coffee today. Theresa is about my age and was discharged the same year as I. She married a Marine career officer. Neither of her sons joined the Marines, both were Navy men. But, she has a granddaughter is now a Marine private.
Two of the veterans are on full disability because of their exposure to Agent Orange.
