The heaviness of deployment is starting to show its somber face. I
receive an email every time that there is news of a
fallen or wounded soldier in my husband's Regiment. In the
two & a half months that he has been downrange, there have already been quite a few. There has also been news of some of
my husband's friends being wounded or laying down their life for freedom.
Please, dears...whether you agree with the politics of this war or not, please stop for even just five seconds & pray to God for the protection of our troops & that they have success in each of their missions.
Thinking of the brave & heroic men & women of our country's military
makes my heart swell with pride & appreciation. I pray that
America as a whole will begin to feel this way. I wish for
parades in the streets at each homecoming, for
handshakes from strangers as our soldiers walk through the airport, for
smiles & "thank you"s wherever they go. This is the least we can do for those who
dedicate their lives to protecting our nation & bringing freedom to the unfree. Oh, just thinking of them gives me
goosebumps & teary eyes.
Our troops are amazing.
My husband is one incredible man. Don, I love you with all my heart & am so proud to stand beside you as your wife! ♥
