Thank you all for your support and prayers, Brandon signed the divorce papers today! He sure had to drag it out.... Now I hope he stays out of her life and leaves her alone! Maybe her going back out to sea for a few months would help her deal with this. I don't want any of them to go though.

Yes Anna, thank you for your service! Our Vietnam vets were treated horribly! Still makes me want to cry!

Anna, I am sorry you were treated that way.My brother was in the Air Force during Vietnam. He was also treated bad. It was not right. I thank you for your service! :-)
Yes I agree with all of you.I pray her Lawyer helps.or someone to persuade him!

Catsmom...should we be surprised that he is pulling this sh*#...sadly... nope! Does it make it any easier to deal with...NOPE!! I agree with Spyder and Blondie about getting others involved, hoping she can and it gets taken care of preferably from a jail cell ;-) continued prayers for both of you!!!
Anna, makes me so sad that you and others had to go through those type of "homecomings"....being made to feel uncomfortable in wearing your uniform---- sigh...so tragic

Boy,he really is a piece of work isn't he? Anything she can have him arrested for? Maybe she can get a sheriff who is a notary too go over with her. Or just put an ad in paper for 5days~ Maybe that counts toward service? Something has to work...her attorney should be able to help. She just needs to be careful not to get physically hurt!!! POS!!!

Good morning everyone,
Leach73, how awesome you and your family got to experience that! Made me cry too!
My cousin has gon on several of them, he has showmen me video, what an amazing and wonderful thing to do. He says it is an honer to help and serve our vets! I agree.
So the latest is that Crystal went to take her soon to be ex to get his signature notorised yesterday..when she got there he told her he wasn't ready, not in the mood bla bla bla, she was pissed, so she told him you have to do it tomorrow..he said if I feel like it! What an ass...she needs to get this done in case she deploys again! I told her to haver her Lawyer to get involved. So hard for me to deal with this from so far away!

Leach73,
Wow!! What an awesome experience to witness, and for your daughter as well!!!! I would love to share that kind of experience as well. I remember when I was serving during the Vietnam time period and being in uniform at an airport and having people ask me why I was part of the military. There were times when it was uncomfortable to be wearing the uniform!!! I'm so glad things are different now for all our vets!!!! Thank you for sharing your story!! It brought tears to my eyes!!!
Andrea,
I will certainly spill all the details as soon as things start to gel a little more!!!!! Keeps you checking in!!!!!
Blondie,
Hope he has healing for his memories. It is tough for some of WWII vets!!!! So glad he got to take the flight tho!!
