I wanted to share something I posted on facebook today with you guys too. Veterans day and any holiday celebrating our military are special to me. As a vet and an army wife.
On this veterans day I have to say how happy I am to be an Army wife and be part of such a strong and special community. I attended a function at my kids school this morning and it’s so nice to go into the school and see the same faces that I see at football practice, at work, at the commisary and from my neighborhood…. It’s so nice to be greeted with smiles of wives who struggle with the same things I struggle with.Who’s kids have the same issues as my kids and who’s husbands fight for the same cause as mine does. The military family is a special one. Our kids will have to be the new kid at school at least once every few years. They will not have a "hometown" or a state they can identify themselves with. I’ll never be at a job long enough to get promoted. We’ll never have the same doctor for very long. The possibility of a move is always looming and you can never really feel settled because that can change at any moment. We are seperated from the ones we love often and spend holidays away from our families. It’s just us. We are all we have but we make it work so that you can be free. Thank you to all of you who continue to put your country before yourself and those who have in the past. Thank you to the families that support those that wear the uniform. Have a great time at Golden Corral! LOL (The Golden Corral feeds active duty and vets for free on veterans day )

That was beautiful, Sissy! Thanks for putting military life into perspective for civilians https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumright.gif It can be very isolating to grow up in the military, but the community is always there and no one else can really understand what it’s like. Lest we forget…. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_elephant.gif
