Third Marine Division Association
www.angelfire.com - This is a group of women who are married, mothers, daughters, girlfriends or widows of veterans. We offer support, understanding, help and a shoulder to lean on. I've belonged to this group since 1997 and the support of others who are dealing with the same issues as I have was and is a life saver. Please feel free to pass this on. Those who want to join must be approved by either the owner or one on the moderators. This group is for women only (submitted by Terri Crow).
