You're very welcome

You know, the one thing I can be proud of and love my father for was the fact that he was a GREAT marine. Being raised on military bases and in military schools, I have a great pride and appreciation for our military people, but also for their families. Not many people think of the sacrifices these families have to make! Being uprooted every 2-3 years (half way across the country too boot), never being near extended family, daddy's and mommy's being gone a year at a time are all hard to deal with. Your husband was willing to make his sacrifices, but as a military wife so were you! When someone goes into the military I feel their spouse is just as much personnel as they are, and should be recognized for that.

Have you mentioned to hubby going to school and studying something that would put him on a base still working (in a round about way) for his country? I know my soon to be son-in-law is going for his master's in engineering and the local base is doing everything they can to get him to work there.

Your hubby needs to know that there are ways that he can serve his country without being enlisted. He needs to focus his passion and go for it! I don't know y'all but I'm so proud of all of you. He's been dealt a really hard blow and any member of service would say "take that blow, learn from it and move forward." Print this out and have your hubby read it. He's a fine, admirable man who can use his intellect and talent in more ways than one to help his country. This country needs ALOT of help

Be safe and many good wishes to you,

Kimmydawn
