Happy Independence Day
To all my brother and sisters in arms..Thank you for all you do..As we remember the true meaning of the 4th of July,let us also remember the fallen and their families,they paid the ultimate price for us to be able to celebrate this day..Let's remember the ones before and also the present as we fight to free others and liberate them.For all the weak and oppressed you are defended by true heroes.....

True Camaderie
I see true Camaderie on a daily basis. And it doesn't matter race, creed, or color. That is true camaderie. A true brother will lay down his life for a friend.....
Dedication to all the Strong Willed Soldiers
You are a few and far between. You are what I call a Rare Breed. They tell you there must be something wrong with you because you don't let this job get to you and you continue the fight for the weak and oppressed. You do not conform to labels posted on you. You are strong and never let anyone or anything tell you any different. As this song says by Our Lady Peace, your not that strong, but you are not weak. It does bother you to see the world we all love and know in such diarray. I watched 2 of you salute for your fellow brothers who were lost when TAPS plays. You are true heroes and never forget that, you know who you are, I don't have to name you. To watch you on a daily basis keeps me going because I know my life can't be half as bad as watching fellow Brothers fall to this war and others before..Like I said you are a Rare Breed and I am glad I know you all...

The Daily life of an Infantry Wife
You never realize how lonely life is until reality sinks in and your the one left behind for the greater good of man.I love my soldier, war is his life on a daily basis, and it is for the family waiting and keeping up the homefront..Anticipation of departure huh, they really have no idea what that truely means until they live it...Yes, I am very scared, scared of the unknown, the not knowing on a daily basis..Is he going to come home all fucked up in the head like the ones before him..Don't feel sorry for me though, I knew what I was doing when I married this wonderful man..Thursday is my appointment with the Dr. to untie my tubes, so maybe before he leaves for Hell, he'll have something to look forward to when he gets home....

An Army Wife poem
I've noticed in my present job,there is a tiny quirk.
There's no respect at all and it's not considered work.
Well, I am here to show you another point of view, and give you an idea of what I really do!
Here's my job description and to better understand, it's written in the language of the Army Man.
I'm the IG, complaints come to me.
I am the Medic, I bandage skinned knees.
I'm the Legal Office and the court martial,too.
I decide the punishment, how much and on who, I'm Health: Welfare, inspecting for junk,
and the 1SGT checking the bunk.
I'm also Supply, in charge of food,clothes,housewares,diapers,toys,heaven only knows.
I'm the MP, who secures the door, I'm also the PVT who GI's the floor,
I'm the Mess SGT who cooks all the meals.
I'm TMP in charge of the wheels.
I'm MWR planning all the fun and I am the Bugler, announcing the "day is done".
I'm the KP, who does all the dishes, I am the DA who hears all your wishes.
I'm the CQ and the Fireguard, too, there isn't that much that I don't do.
I'm the instructor too, you see, because what is learned is taught by me.
I'm the Squad Leader, who knows his troops well, sometimes the Drill SGT who really can yell.
I'm the S4, S1, 2, 3, just about everything must come through me!
Appropriations, taskings, commitments too, I'm responsible for all we do.
I never go to battle, and AR of some sort, but you can count on me to bravely guard the fort.
I'm ALWAYS on duty, I never take leave, no Holidays off, it's hard to believe!
I can never ETS, I signed for life, my primary MOS is Mother, my secondary is Army Wife.
For all my devotion, to duty, my LES says" NO PAY DUE " because I'm not paid in money, but in the words of " I LOVE YOU".
I AM AN ARMY WIFE!
To all our family, Billy is definetly deploying in September, there will be no Medboard. Just thought I'd post the poem from my deployment handbook from FRG. It definetly tells of the life of an Army wife. I am going through what they call stage 1 of emotional stages of deployment, which is anticipation of departure where reality starts to sink in and tempers flare against other people as you try to make memorable times before deployment. Well I know that feeling quite well at this point in time. Hope all our family and friends back home are doing well, know you are missed and loved by us very much.............
