I've spent some time lately reading over and learning the stories of our generation of military widows. I have had goosebumps for a couple of hours now... I don't think they're going away any time soon. So often we take for granted what we're blessed with. My husband has been on a MEU deployment and a disaster relief deployment. He'll soon be leaving for his next deployment, which is fortunately another MEU. I have friends who have husbands who have been or are deployed in combat zones and I see their fear. I've heard their fear. I'm so sorry for the fear that they have to live through. Even more so, though, I am sorry for those who are facing the reality of those fears. I just cannot imagine. I am going to try to not write too much, because I fear I may say something completely stupid, because like I said, I just cannot imagine. I just don't know. But I am so sorry. I thank your SO's for their service and will continue to think of them and remember them. I am so thankful for a project like the AWP, which brings stories of those lost to light. They deserve at least that.
