Today, my grandfather and I honor the memory of my grandmother, Marie La Reine Maxey. Grandma served in the Navy in World War II, leaving the service in 1980. She was active in The American Legion for the remainder of her life, serving as National Historian at the time of her death in 1994.
Grandpa, Aunt Susie and I went to her grave site at the Nevada Veterans Cemetary in Boulder City over the weekend. I'm proud of her service and wish she could have been here to enjoy this final leg of my journey out West with us.
