I am thankful that it's 15 months and not 3 years. I am thankful that snail mail moves faster. I am thankful for the internet that gives us instant communication. If the military spouses of WWII could do it, so can I. I will endure the hardships. I will keep my family whole. I will keep our love alive against impossible odds. I will be the smiling voice he hears when he gets a chance to call. I will be his laughter and his joy when he can find none in the world into which he has been sent. I will be his sanity, his lifeline to the world he holds so dear. I will endure. I am a military wife. It is my job. This is how I support my soldier.

Two families coming together to grieve over their lost heroes. Army Sgt Mario DeLeon and Staff Sgt Jesse Williams gave their lives so we might rest here at home safe as a result of the price they paid. Celebrate those brave men, women and families every night in your prayers when you thank the Lord for all you have. Never forget the sacrifice that the families of our service men and women proudly provide. God Bless and thank each and everyone of them. Here Michael Moore, film that!
