Military spouses

When I saw this, I just had to save it and pass it on into my blog. I know how very difficult being a military wife can be, even though my husband is thankfully out now, from his medical problems, at least his body is whole if not totally functional. I thank heaven every day that he is back home now with me and our daughter, and pray for the families of the troops still over in Iraq. May they all come home safely.

Military Spouse Appreciation Day is Friday, May 9th, 2008

Military spouses … stand tall, stand proud! We salute you, you are truly our unsung heroes!

There he stands in camouflage…yet he cannot hide from you.

You can pick him out in a crowd, and eye his stride among a formation.

There he goes, away from you again, off to do his part and be his best, leaving you in his wake - never behind, yet always longing for his return.

There you are, amidst boxes and paper and confusion, creating a home, designing a household, transforming a building into a loving nurturing, comfortable environment.
