The men and women who join the military do not do it for a single President, or a single politician - offices change and pols come and go during the course of their careers. But we are all grateful for the men and women in uniform, and their families with them, who make that choice, and make that sacrifice, for all of us.

I hope your husband can come through it all unscathed, although he will not be unchanged, none of us would be. But that you have some good time together before he gets shipped back, and you never know, they could change their minds, it has happened before.


Yes, I have a brother (Lady's Human) who has been Army Active Duty - is now Reserves, and a nephew who just finished Navy Basic Training, and is in school for his specialty.

We have had at least one family member in the military for every war, except WWII (Dad enlisted Sept. of '47) and Vietnam - the ages were off for both of those, folks were either too old or too young.
