I have always appreciated the military men and women. I thought I understood the sacrifice their families made....I thought I did.....yesterday put a face to their pain. My son-in-law shipped out yesterday for a 10 month tour...he will be in the Pacific...not Iraq. The pain on my daughter's face and the tears she shed were torment to watch. They have only been married 5 months and yes, she kept saying all the right things..."won't be too long", "I'll adjust" She was holding something and kept touching her face with it.....but it broke my heart when I asked her about it and she said, "It's his shirt".

Thank you to all who serve and to all that are married to them.
