I spent a lot of time around Military people back in the day. Was even engaged to one once. :)
If you know people in the military, you know they often travel in packs. :)
My apt in college was their refuges (I was two blocks from the bars & across from the girls' dorms :))

3 of us were dating Marines at the time & w them came all their friends. LOL
We had 1 rule. No girls in my apt overnight, but the guys could come to get away on weekends or the 72s & 96s.
In return, they always fully mustered my apt on Sundays (so they could come back)

Was like having a large group of brothers. They took care of us when our boyfriends were deployed & we sent them care packages when they were deployed themselves.
Have so many wonderful memories of the time we spent.
Silly times, drunk times, fun times, sad times...

My father was a survivor of #DachauDeath March. #RemembranceDay2021
The viciousness endured during #DachauDeathMarch is unimaginable. Dressed in threadbare striped uniforms, some had wooden shoes, others barefoot, they were paraded through 18 Bavarian towns in Southern Germany. #RemembranceDay2021
May 1, 1945, my dad tells: “We were travelling for three days. They took us in a group to shoot us. We laid down. We laid calmly. It was cold, there was frost. When we woke up in the morning, we saw no one. The guards ran away. We started running and the Americans liberated us.”
