About me:
I'm a middle school teacher. This is my 25th year, 20 years in my present district. My dad was in the Navy and got stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. Therefore, my sister and I were born there. I'm a single mom and Zach is my only child.
I am here to support or represent my:

From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
Document everything and that Navy isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

Dear Dee Dee,
How are you doing?
So Your a Military BRAT!! HAHAH! I write to many moms that are!
Kim is the first Military. My father was drafted in WW 2 and was very anti military. I "m so thankful he doesn't know about Kim.

So far, thank God she does loves it. SHe's in Virginia on the USS Normandy, but the ship is docked for a year. She was trained to read the radar. Right now, there's no use for that job.

Where is Zachary now in the Navy?

Let me get going. I hope to hear from you again.
Take care and God bless.
Barbara

Welcome to Navy 4 Moms, this is an exciting website and very informative... We would like to invite you to the Blue Candle Lighting event that occurs in your home anytime you wish to light a candle for your recruit sailor or the military in general. This is done to honor their service during the holidays, birthdays, special events or if you just want to. The Home for the Holidays/Blue Candle Moms also ask you join us in this group. This event and group has no special connections to "any one group" We are all Navy Moms, Wives, and we became Blue Candle Moms.... this included everyone on this website. Please come join us and share your stories and your lightings and your holidays with your child...this was done because some moms were not having their sailors home, and we are support group that can share feelings and fears. Annouce your child is coming home or the despair of knowing on certain holidays it is your sailor we light the candles for. To honor them for the service in the past present and future. To honor those that gave the Ultimate Sacrifice for our freedom. We celebrate the freedom to be Blue Candle Moms and the freedom to light our candles anytime we choose. Please think about our group and the Event and when responding tell where you lit your candle, and the reasons for your paticular lighting. the event will continue and once you rsvp come in anytime and update your lightings
