quick side note...got a fast phone call from my husband, I have no idea where he was or how he called, anyways, I told him how sad I was about all the soldiers that have died, and how heavy it sits on my heart. He told me not to be sad, be proud, they died as heroes and I should never forget that. he said it would be disgraceful to their memory if i though of them with pity...now that was humbling.

I'm real proud of our troops. I know a few people I know who are older vets have questioned the younger generation and their heart and I'd say they stepped uo to the plate most admirably.

I am so glad you got to hear from him SG. It must have been so thrilling for you. I have to tell you, I have added Soldier's guy to my nightly prayers. I am really happy that you got to hear his voice, and I will remember his words about our fallen heros. Here is a hug. I cannot even pretend to know how hard this is for you, but I will tell you how much I appreciete you and your husband's sacrifice. God bless our troops, our country, and our President.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this, SG. God Bless your husband, and thank you, too, for the "Tribute to Military Spouses" you placed on your info page. Those who ignore the importance of military spouses have no idea of the military and why ours works so well. I also believe the desire/fantasy of that is the root of the need for "pin-up girls" that our fighting men so crave.
