"From the bitter cold winter at Valley Forge, to the mountains of Afghanistan and the deserts of Iraq, our soldiers have courageously answered when called, gone where ordered, and defended our nation with honor."   ~<b>Solomon Ortiz</b>
<p align="center">My husband is a retired Army officer.</p>
<p align="center">My father served in the Army Air Corps.</p>
<p align="center">My uncle was a Marine.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;" align="center">My meager contribution to military service was a short stint as a Department of Army Civilian at Eighth Army Headquarters, Yongsan, South Korea. Now, I write <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Morning-Prequel-Pendants-Promise-ebook/dp/B00DQ1AEPQ/" target="_blank">military romances </a> and offer happily ever after endings that aren’t always present in the non-fiction military world.</p>
