I served in the Maryland Army National guard out of the Fifth Regiment Army back in the day. What has happened to the beautiful state of Maryland is tragic.

Baltimore has been bad for a very long time. My sister and mother were both separately mugged back in the 1970's. My aunt was mugged and her head bashed in around 1980 in Catonsville in Baltimore County. I was held up at gunpoint in 1982 near Pimlico. I attended nursing school in Baltimore City and one day we could not get home because my friend's car was not where she parked it - it had been stolen. My childhood home in AA county was burglarized twice while I was growing up.
