US Military - Navy, baby! and the others too... Oh yeah, Music, World War II, the Civil War, boots (tall black ones esp. circa WWII Germany officer's - sexy), making the world a better place by spreading joy wherever I go and I'll do it wearing tall black boots and singing Anchors Aweigh drinking a mint julip. How's that?
Brave men and women who have fought for our freedom at home and abroad as well as those who ensure our safety everyday. US NAVY, US MARINE CORPS, US ARMY, US COAST GUARD, US AIR FORCE, POLICE, TROOPERS, FIREFIGHTERS, EMTs -Thanks to you all and God Bless You and keep you safe.
