I'm a 67 year old veteran. I live alone except I have my companion Pinkee a girl pitbull. See has been with me through the ups and downs of life. I love her very much and want to be buried with her. I grew up extremely poor. I actually had to put cardboard in the holes in my shoes. I joined the armed forces to protect my country. I had one Christmas. l began to buy toys and games I never had. I made many sacrifices to get them. sometimes I had $5.00 for the rest of the month :)
