As usual I have tears in my eyes. I cannot see a soldier in uniform without crying. Not sure why. My husband was in the National Guards for 14 years, spent 2 separate months in Germany for training with 3 young kids at home. He never saw war. My brother is in the Army since 1973 and served several tours of duty over the years. I love parades because of the men and women in uniform marching. I think I am sad and happy at the same time as I have such a huge personal pride in what they do for us.
Please thank your husband for the honorable act of courage and dedication he does for all of us! May God Bless you and your family always!

Adding my thoughts and prayers for a safe return! When I was first married (44 years ago!) my husband was on a submarine. I can still remember the ache every time he left. May those 200 days race by quickly!

A huge thank you on behalf of myself and my family. It's because of men like yours and their families that we enjoy the freedoms and opportunities we have today. May he come safely home to you in 198 days.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Our prayers are with you!

Our son recently returned safe and sound from a year tour over there. We were scared the entire year. We will pray for your husbands safe return also. We thank him for his service.
