My Love

Because we love them, we do all that we can to make their lives better. Our soldiers mean the world to us. I know that I will do anything in my power to make this deployment just a little bit better for my husband.  I would hope that the families and friends of all the soldiers take care of them while they are deployed with letters and packages, phone calls and Skype conversations. It brings tears to my eyes to know that this isn't the situation though. There are some soldiers over seas who have never received a letter. That is about to change! 

 

The Silent Ranks
By This Website

I wear no uniforms, no blues or whites,
But I am in the Army cause I am his wife.
I'm in the ranks that are rarely seen,
I have no rank upon my shoulders.
Salutes I do not give.
But the military world is the place where I live.
I'm not in the chain of command, Orders I do not get.
But my husband is the one who does, this I can not forget.
I'm not the one who fires the weapon, who puts my life on the line.
But my job is just as tough. I'm the one who's left behind.
My husband is a patriot, a brave and prideful man.
And the call to serve his country not all can understand.
Behind the lines I see the things needed to keep this country free.
My husband makes the sacrifice, but so do our kids and me.
I love the man I married. Soldiering is his life.
But I stand among the silent ranks known as the Army Wife.

This is for all of the spouses out there of someone in the military. Military husbands are hardly ever mentioned or given credit. But they are out there, and they endure the same thing that military wives do! Thank you all for supporting the troops!!!
