Goodness. There is nothing to thank. We did nothing more than what military families do. You must understand that when I married him the kids and I knowingly took on the collateral burdens of his commitment. In a way, though the nature of our burden differed to his, his commitment became our commitment.

Military spouses don't usually describe the situation in those words. But think about it: isn't that what every military spouse does? And these days, the ones left behind are not all women.

Everything to thank.

We are free with all of our rights because of what you, your husband, and your family have helped to do.

I understand that you went into the marriage knowing the possibilities.

The world and your kids will be better for his service and your hard work.
