Amazing Marine Corps spouse puts a devastating experience into words.

Mary displayed extraordinay control. Having been the one knocking on the door too many times, there is no way to know the reaction. I remember one young wife who saw me, screemed no and slammed and locked the door. She felt if I didn't say the word, it would not be true. I believe anyone who wants to be POTUS should have to deliver the message.
