Justamom, please do not let your heart break.
My father proudly served in the military (Army, Trans. Corp) for 28 years, he is now a retired Col. My husband served in the Navy for six years. I cannot speak for all the service men and women, but I can speak for both of them. They joined the military to serve their country and for 28 years and six years respectively they did that and if called upon they would do it again at a moment’s notice. I remember my father saying many times over the years that my mother and I were not to be sad if anything happened to him while he was serving his country. That if he were to ever die during war, he would die with honor serving his country, fighting for our protection and to him there was no better way to go. That knowledge gave my mother comfort during the Korean conflict, Grenada and Desert Storm.
A very good friend of mine served in the Marine Corps for four years. Before getting his MBA, he was in Somalia, and he is now inactive reserve. I spoke with him this morning to see if he had been called up for duty. He said not yet, but that he is ready.
The only thing the service men and women ask for is our support to them, while they support our country.
I am proud of all the service men and women across the world. May they stand proud and know that they are our heroes here at home!!!!!!!!!!
