“As your spouse serves our country in the military, you serve as well, providing support on the home front and making many sacrifices to do so. The burdens you must deal with —such as loneliness, fear, temptation, frequent moves, and single parenting during deployments —can easily become overwhelming.
“But with God’s help, you can find the hope you need to overcome any challenge on the home front.
“Do you want to know how?”

• MILITARY SPOUSES: FIND HOPE ON THE HOME FRONT
In closing, we’d like to share a poem, we came across (the author is unknown). We hope it will inspire you and give you hope that others notice much of the sacrifice you are making on behalf of keeping our country safe. Thank you, from the depths of our hearts!!!
SILENT PATRIOT
A woman for all seasons
A woman for today.
She grows to meet the challenges
And grows along the way.
Her life is not an easy one
With many loads to bear.
But she proudly serves her husband
And the uniform he wears.
Although she didn’t take the oath
To preserve democracy
She’s there each day on the home front
To keep our country free.
She’s foreign-born or a country girl,
Diversity you will find.
But to be an army wife
It takes a special kind.
She’s one who keeps on going
Through adversity and pain.
She’s the steady, strong foundation
When nothing stays the same.
She’s the one who sheds a tear
As Old Glory passes by,
But couldn’t give a answer
If you were to ask her why.
Throughout the years, she marches on
Through tears and joy and strife.
She’s america’s unsung hero-
She’s a military wife.
