The Peace Corps will be 50 Years Old Next Year

The Peace Corps is when it all changed for me. My life changed. I became a new person. The people I met…Amazing men and women! So much courage. So much heart. To be a part of the Peace Corps Family is my badge. I wear it with honor. I will defend my experience and my service with my life. Nothing will ever take the place of those 2years (1994-1996). My love is strong for John F. Kennedy’s baby, Peace Corps.

It is Touching, Truly Touching to view this video. The memories come back like a tsunami. I remember my first night. My first home stay family in St. Lucia, The Browns. Then my Antiguan home stay family, The Scholl’s. Myrna, my mother a way from North Carolina. Alan, Leslie, and Brian – my brothers. Love…Service…Sacrifice…Dedication…

The pictures...
