Ann's paternal ancestors have a military heritage that spans nearly every conflict in American history.
"I might get out of the Army but it doesn't seem likely for a while."
"I've been recommended for the Judge Advocate Generals Dept, but it is a waiting proposition..."
"I might stay here and then we four can swim at Wrightsville Beach next summer."
"I have a pup tent surrounded by pine trees, ants, bugs, mosquitoes, etc. That old cot at Stewart will look mighty good."
"I have such a deep attachment to Isle of Hope and I want that place to remain the Grayson home."
