A group of close knit women, created by
Brittany Mease in Jan 2011. Advice and support is the backbone of the group.
I wear no uniforms, no blues or
army greens,
But I am in the military in the ranks rarely seen.
I have no rank upon my shoulders.
Salutes I do not give.
But the military world is the place where I live.
I'm not in the chain of command, orders I do not
get.
But my husband is the
one that does,
this I cannot forget.
I'm not the
one who fires the
weapon,
who puts my life on the line.
But my
job is just as tough. I'm the
one that's left behind.
My husband is a patriot, a brave and prideful man
and the call to serve his country, not all can understand.
Behind the lines I see the things needed
to keep this country free.
My husband makes this sacrifice,
but so do our kids and me.
I love the man I married. Soldiering is his life.
But I stand among the silent ranks
Known as the military wife.
Dear Lord,
Give me the greatness of
heart to see the difference between duty and his/her love for me.
Give me a task to do each
day, to fill the
time when he/she is away.
When he/she is in a foreign land, keep him/her safe in your loving hand.
And, when duty is in the field, please protect him/her and be his/her shield.
And Lord, when deployment is so long, please stay with me and keep me strong.
AMEN
