That distinction is part of Tameka Brown’s story: the Dundalk resident says she had an order after leaving an abusive relationship, yet her former partner continued to stalk her. Brown has written I’m Not Your Punching Bag about what she and her children experienced, hoping the book will encourage other survivors to seek help, according to the Dundalk Eagle.

Perryville ceremony celebrates military veterans

PERRYVILLE — Of the more than 300 million Americans in this country, only 1 percent of them have served, will serve, or are serving in the U.S. military. U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Jason J. Horton provided that statistic Wednesday while serving as the keynote speaker during the Veterans Day ceremony at Perryville American Legion Susquehanna Post 135. So while the vast majority of Americans possess a general awareness of the sacrifices made by servicemen and servicewomen, that 99 percent hasn’t and never will experience how those day-in-day-out sacrifices feel to those in uniform. Those sacrifices aren’t made only by military men and military women serving around the globe — some of them in harm’s way during conflicts — but by those carrying out their duties stateside. And one of the hardest and most common sacrifices is spending long periods of time away from family, according to Horton who, is stationed at Aberdeen Proving Ground and serves as senior technical advisor to Portfolio Management Executive Command and Control Information Network. Horton told attendees that, at the 25-year mark in his military career, he finds himself living back in the barracks for the next two years because of his latest
