Blue Star in My Window

This is just one story of one military family. We are nothing special, as you will see. But we are incredibly blessed by love for one another. We are proud of our young son, the job he does, and for the man he is becoming. We are thankful for the time we've had with him and the lessons of life we've learned from one another. This is our story of deployment and homecoming: two words that conjure up such a score of different emotions. The home team and the away team. We thank those who supported us during this time and will never forget the many kindnesses extended to our family and our beloved son, a United States Marine. Military families: I would love to hear your story. Catherine DePew is a 1975 graduate of Lincoln Christian College in Lincoln, Illinois. She has been employed by Nabisco/Kraft Foods for 25 years.
