I have never posted personal on any site, but what the heck, I have to post that 46 years ago tomorrow morning 28 December in 1974 I was married to a beautiful Woman named Mary.
Tomorrow it will be 46 years,,,, it was a Saturday of course. Now here we are, and we are alone together again because of a desire to not be around anyone considering the Virus floating around. But, we are motoring through it.

I had been overseas for some time, and when i returned I decided staying in the military
scared Mary, so I did not return to active duty.
I was in a helicopter rescue detachment, and I foresaw moving on to a gunship unit. Things changed, And here we are. that is it.
The fun thing is we were engaged in a 1968 green Charger,,,, to this day we own a mint condition green 1968 Charger.

Thank you for your service Sir ! Congradulations 46 years is a mile stone for sure , Plus whata great car youve got there !
 
God forbid if she sees this post! She thinks I am a tough guy!
 
That's the stories I love to see shared. Thanks for posting. You and Mary have made it work for 46 years. That's a real feat in today's world. Congratulations to that and many more.
My wife and I were married in 72 and Dec. 2 we celebrated 48 years together.

and congratulations to you both! I remember that year very well!

and I can say safely on the site to all the women reading this, I met her on a blind date arranged by my mother!
I was home from overseas for a short time, and told her if she didn't find me a girlfriend, I was going back overseas!
It worked!
 
Congratulations on 46 years! And FWIW in my opinion you are a Tough Guy... You served in a difficult time & a dangerous MOS... Thanks for your service!! Sounds like your mother is/was (hopefully still with us) a very smart woman...
 
Great story man. I hope that I will meet someone and spend the rest of my days with her; preferably with one of the women featured in the blue forum. Is that the same charger that you were engaged in?

Well, speaking as someone who does find it therapeutic to write "personal" on here from time to time,
I don't see a damn thing wrong with doing so - and especially in your case, I can about guar-an-damn-tee
that you got some stories to tell that I'd love to read!
Congrats to you and your better half (and to Jerry @Jerry Hall ! Good Lord man!) ,
In a world of disposable everything (including marriages oftentimes), being committed and loyal that long
is truly an accomplishment.

As far as being "tough"? You just wrote something personal in a forum the world has access to.
That ranks somewhere on the bravery scale, eh? :)
 
Congratulations. I understand your love and commitment, I too have been married 46 years.
In 1974 I asked the Lord for strength, compassion and wisdom. He sent me my wife. Seems like you received the same blessing.
 
Congrats to you guys who have made it! A salute with the click of the heels for those who have served to protect out country.. Thanks! Nice car and neat story!
