Dear M, and M2:
Oh I hear ya loud and clear. M2, if the army put you and I together, we could be our own 2 woman squad. Just ask my husband. I actually beat on a big guy who attacked my husband many years ago. Honest I did. 
We were at a festival downtown in Hart Plaza watching a concert. Had been there all day for a grand prix racing event and four of us stayed to watch the band down in the plaza. We've done this lots of time and never a problem. Well this one guy was trying to hit on my best friend Nancy as we came back from the bathrooms. Mark and Lee were waiting for us.
When we got back I was watching from further back, making my way up. Nancy was telling Lee what happened and he figured if he put his arm around her the guy who had been bugging her would get the hint and leave her alone.
A couple of minutes transpired and I listening to the band, when all of a sudden I see a flash of yellow and all these people pulling back. I started running to the front when I realized that WAS MY HUSBAND. When I got to him I see him on the ground, This drunk and stoned asshole had sucker-punched my hubby. The next few seconds were a blur but I remember yelling, "Someone help my husband!" But no one did a thing! 
Well I don't know where this came from but the next thing I know is little 5 foot me is on top on the guy (Lee had managed to flip the guy over), and I grabbed his head and was beating it into the ground, all the while yelling, "If you touch my husband I'll kill you!" 
Lee managed to get up, and his face was a bloody mess. Thank God we found his glasses! The guy ran off.
Lee was okay and we got him cleaned up. He wound up with a good sore between his eyes where the glasses cut him. My poor baby.
He was still in shock. He said he was standing there with Nancy (Mark was coming back from the concession stand or something), and said this guy came out of nowhere and punched him. He was freaked. Said the guy wasn't much of a match though because he was so out of it. Thank God for that.
Lee told me that I was like a bat out of hell. I told him no one touches my loved ones. 
I said I would have done anything to defend him. He said I will never doubt your loyalty, love and strength.
It wasn't funny then, but we often laugh about it now. Lee tells everyone, you should have seen her. She was beating this guy and he was yelling out, "don't hurt me, dont hurt me!" He was a freakin' coward.
