Good Morning & T.G.I.F!
Fun Friday is finally here! I thought today I would share my fun experience I had this past weekend at the Army Ball in Monterey, California. It felt like prom all over again, only with adults & happy hour, which made it way better!
I must admit, prior to being invited, I had no idea that this annual celebration existed. Guess that’s just the way it is when you’re living the civilian life. However, it was interesting to learn that the first army was established during the Revolutionary War on June, 14 1775. As far as army life goes, it is considered to be “The Event of the Year". In fact, every June soldiers across the country celebrate this special occasion with formal balls and plenty of pomp & circumstance along with it.
My first time at the Army Ball was a great experience. Not only was the food excellent and the music & dancing fun, but more importantly it gave me a better idea of what our army is all about & the sacrifices that the soldiers make for us each day, especially during this time of war. I felt proud of my soldier (well actually, I guess I should say Major in case he reads this Lol!) and proud to be an American.

This week I encourage each of you to thank a soldier for serving during this difficult time in our nation's history.
Happy 235th Birthday U.S. Army &
God Bless America!
Special thanks to Major Fuoco who not only invited me as his date, but also served as head of the Army Ball Planning Committee for the 229th Military Intelligence Battalion.
Job Well Done Major!
