You don't receive the thanks you deserve for sharing your loved one so he/she could do their duty. God bless you and your loved ones!!!!!!
And Thank You.
I am also an ex-military wife. My ex was in doing Desert Storm and Desert Shield. Active Duty Army in Iraq or Iran during that time. I still have a hard time saying good bye. I say a special prayer at breakfast, lunch and dinner and as I get in my car to go to work.
