Thoughts of a Not so Typical Army Wife

I get asked the same question over and over from what we call civilians.

Do I support this war in Iraq?

It's a loaded question for me.

I don't support war in the way that I think we should all be encouraged toward fighting and hatred.

I do support the helping of others that have been suppressed by angry hateful people.

I don't enjoy sending my husband so far away for a year at a time, hoping and praying for his safe return. All the while keeping our household running here,and taking on the role of a single Mom for our children.

I am however very proud of his efforts. His willingness to see anothers need and share his good fortune of a free life with those who are less fortunate.

As a Christian family, we believe it is our duty to help all of God's children in their times of need. Being a military family helps us fulfill that. I am proud to be a part of this great nation, the land of the free. And I am proud to be married to a soldier . . .
