Welcome to Freerepublic as a military wife, I extend my hand to you for anything you may need.
Sisters in arms,

Well that is very nice. I feel the same way about other military spouses. I have a friend here whose husband was killed last year in Afghanistan. She has a 12 year old girl and 2 year old girl. She knows I’ll do anything for her and her girls. She was coming back with his ashes and an airport security worker started yelling at her about something and she was already grieving so badly that she broke down crying. She told him “I have my husband’s ashes, he was just killed in Afghanistan” and he said back to her “that’s not my problem”. I cried and cried when she told me about that. But the outpouring of support she got from the community was amazing. Far more good people out there than what it seems like sometimes.
