Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is not a guarantee

Moving into part 2 of my life.  I've spent 35 years in the Army, 15 years dedicated to the education and instruction of Emergency Medical Technicians. and 5 years on the street.  

 I am a Patriot, husband and a father of 5 children, 1 boy and 4 girls. #GirlDad.  My son and one of my daughters are Autistic and have special needs.  Providing for a large family and being a decent human being is what this is all about.  

I have had a pretty interesting sometimes complicated and rarely boring life.  Retiring after 35 years, working 3 other jobs, being a girl dad (which is worthy of a blog all on it's own)
