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
