Insert generic photo of US Army housing here. Location: between Schofield Barracks, Oahu and Warner Kaserne, Munich.
Someone--can't remember who--said that military children have three hometowns: their place of birth, their mother's hometown, and their father's hometown. I would opine that they also latch onto another place along the way. So, in no particular order: Ft. Lauderdale,FL, Kent, CT, Jeff' City, MO, and Marietta, OH.
THE most indelible image from my childhood, is of our group of neighborhood kids standing at attention, at the edge of the parade ground, as the band practiced the national anthem, or as a group of soldiers marched by with Old Glory. That happened at every post, at every age, in every kind of weather.
