Washington, DC Time!
Do you really understand your:
Freedom of Speech?
A Tribute
To
Our Fallen
and
Their Families:
As I ponder the Comrades-in-Arms who have given of themselves the full measure of sacrifice, I feel a deep sadness in my heart for not their loss but my own...they are at peace knowing that for which they fought and died was worth the fight. The terror which they fought against is now on the run and will continue to be as long as those in uniform continue to stand up and fight for what they hold dear to their hearts...the love of freedom and family. The pain of their loss to us is deep and lasts what may seem to be an eternity...but that eternity in God's eyes is but a fleeting moment. To be absent from this life is to be in the presence of God! I can only imagine! Semper Fidelis.

Who we are...
If you want to really know something about us, then follow these links. In them, you will see us at various points of our lives. Each of us has responsibility for creating and maintaining our Homepages...the little guys can get some assistance from the Mom or Dad. Our family is very diverse in where each of us were born, but we all share many common values of service to our God, to our family, to our country, to our defense of freedom. This section has new information that we REALLY want you to read and see.
What we are...
We are a rather large family of seven; Dad, Mom, five children, a Golden Retriever named "Duke," an orange Tabby Cat named "Miyagi," and a Tabby Cat named "Miyako." We are now residing in the hills of the West Virginia panhandle in Rippon near Charles Town. Currently, our family is a little disjointed as Daddy is now serving in Afghanistan in the Global War on Terror. So, please keep him in your prayers. May God Bless all our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and other service members serving in harm's way to defend something as sweet as Liberty...Liberty against ever living in fear again. Semper Fidelis.

East Coast Time!
We are stationed in the Washington, DC area...actually in Reston, Virginia at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Washington, DC is our nation's capital...otherwise known as the capital of the free world. You can go to this page to see our most current weather situation...see the links to "OUR" favorite weather sites.
When we are...
Back from the Future! We are now located in the same time zone as most of our families. When we are starting our day, our families on the East coast are waking up with us...well, at least in the same morning period.

How we are...
We will not bore you with a bunch of rhetoric here. Instead, click on the link above and visit our "How We Are" page for the latest news on the Martin Family happens. Click here to see some of our "Family Pictures." But, look here now for yet more of our "Family Pictures - Part 2 and now Family Pictures - Part 3 and Family Camping photos." Keep checking for additional shots... :-)
Why we are...
We are who we are, what we are, where we are, and when we are because of the simple grace of God. Our lives are lived according to God's plan...even despite any attempts we might make at running our own lives. This is simply because "In his heart, a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:9. Better still is the fact fact that "The Lord works out everything for his own ends -- even the wicked for a day of disaster." Proverbs 16:4.
