My whole family has red hair except my brother who has a bright red beard. I love being a red head, and if you feel alone as a ginger believe me there are even less of us in the marine corps.
I work for the Army here in Calgary, Alberta, and with a headquarters of 42 staff, there were 8 redhead here! We are now down to 5, but I keep my eyes open for more lol Take care of yourself over there, Elizabeth
Red in the family! by: Deb
Reply by Deb at RR: Hi -- thanks for submitting the photos of you and your own little ginger! The older photos plus current ones are always fun to see. (Sorry, I couldn't flip the one photo around though this page format.) The red gene is certainly alive and well in your family. Glad to hear you are good with your hair color and congratulations on your beautiful little one...what a cutie!
Also allow me to say thank you for serving in the armed forces. We have several former Marines in our own family and I know how tough it can be just to get through training! We are also retired military ourselves and know about the separations and the price paid by family members. (See my ("Military" page.) You certainly are one of the rare ones out there -- a Marine AND a redhead too! Blessings and prayers to you and your lovely family...So glad you wrote in to share.
I've added one of your photos you submitted to my "The Male Room" (Guys page) if that's okay (the freckled youngster photo). If not, let me know via the "Contact Me" page later and I can remove it there.
