Martha Raye would have been 100yrs old today.
Amazing woman.

Happy Birthday COL Maggie...

I guess I didn't get the memo. Last yr we left from Charlie Mike's pub, rode to her grave at Sand Hills Vet Cemetery and drank a shot of vodka for her in her honor.

I'll look at CM's page and see if they're doing it today....

RIP Ma'am
