Because I was up here in Watertown New York, celebrating the fact that my husband was finally home from Afghanistan. And, holding the hands of my fellow Army spouses whose husbands have been extended 6 more months. And, working overtime so I can rack up some comp time at work, so when my son goes back to Iraq with the Marines (for the third time) I maybe able to get down to Camp Lejeune and see him off. That's why.

Thanks to you and your husband for the sacrifices you make for us. It's not your job to defend yourself here - that's what we (the beneficiaries of your husband's service) are supposed to be doing. We are supposed to have your backs over here - but sadly, we are doing a pee-poor job.
This was obviously not posted with you and those in your situation in mind.
Those who benefit from your sacrifices are the ones who should be standing up to the enemy at home.
