    Today is my wedding anniversary. 44 years. 4 children and their spouses, 8 grandchildren, (3 of the now driving). Comfortable home, good friend. Health is fair. I have to say I have been lucky. I got to come home from a bloody war, alway stayed employed. Yes 44 years seems a long time, and yet it doesn't seem so long ago we stood up together in the front of that chapel.

    Right where I want to be.
    savemoney, first, thank you for your service.
    Now, about that first pic. You 2 look like you were about 14 years old. Shotgun?
    Just kidding.
    Very impressive to have stayed together so long.
    My wife and I have been together since 1992, but didn't marry until '99.
    Second marriage for both of us. I only hope she can put up with me a few more years.

    Congrats and praying you share many more wonderful years together. Thanks also for serving your country brother. I just had my eighth last month (second marriage for both of us). All kidding aside, we are still on the honeymoon and I thank God many times every day for my bride.
