This poem was shared with me on my message boards this morning and I HAD to share. I hope you all appreciate it as much as I did.
"The Silent Ranks"
I wear no uniforms, no blues or greens.But, I am in the military, in the ranks rarely seen.
I have no rank upon my shoulders. Salutes I do not give.But in the military world is where I live and am rarely seen.
I am not in the chain of command, orders I do not give or get.But my husband is the one who does, this I can not forget.
I am not the one who fires a weapon, Who puts his life on the line.But my job is just as tough, Iʼm the one who is always left behind.
My husband is a patriot, a brave and pride filled man.And the call to serve his country not all can understand.
Behind the lines, I see things needed to keep this country free.My husband makes the sacrifice, but so do my kids and me.
I love the man I married. The military is his life.So I pledge to support my hero and stand among the silent ranks known as THE MILITARY WIFE.

THAT's what I'm talkin' about!! ((hugs)) :o}
AMEN sister! That is great, I read another one a while back and wish I had kept it. One of the lines was about moving all the time and your curtains never fitting the windows...it was obviously not as serious as the one you posted, but still heartfelt! You sound like you are holding up great on your blog, I just want to encourage you through this deployment, YOU CAN DO IT!
