NWR: For Nina and all of those who are marrying a man of honor...
The average age of the military wife/girlfriend is 20 years old.
*She isn't old enough to buy a beer, but is old enough to manage a whole household on her own and maybe she has a kid or two.
*She probably never saw herself loving a man who was in the
military, but she loves him regardless.
*Her penmanship has improved over the last few months, due to the excessive letter writing she has been doing.
*She cries alot,because she misses the man she swore to love.
*Her life isn't complete without him.
*She looks very tired, because of her many nights without sleep,
due to a late night phone call that never came or a call that came
and kept her up all night, just because she heard his voice,
she is too overjoyed to sleep.
*As a wife, she is classified as a dependent, but she is totally independent.
*She tends to her household, her kids, her school work, and her job, all without her husband/boyfriend.
*She manages to wear a smile, even though inside shes crying.
*She understands that the man she loves has to go far away.
*She understand that he can be taken away from her in a moments notice.
*She feels a great sense of pride and probably cries whenever she hears the National Anthem, sees a flag blowing in the breeze, or watches the news and hears about another death in Iraq or Afghanistan she worries that it might be him.
*She goes weeks without a call or a letter, but she writes him whenever she gets a free moment.
*She knows how to convert civilian time into military time.
*Before he left she used to complain if she didn't see him for a day or two, but now she gets annoyed when she hears someone complaining about not seeing their boyfriends.
*She may not have see him for months but she remembers everything about him, every scar he has, the way he smells,whether or not he snores.
*She has every picture of him and them out and in frames, she stares at them for hours on end.
*She has read every letter at least 40 times.
*Even though her man is a half a world away, she still manages to go on with her life, as he would want her to.
You may not know what she looks like, but as soon as you see her in the store you'll know that her husband/boyfriend is a world away without even having to speak to her.
Shes the one who's half frowning half smiling, she has at least
one Support out Troops pin that she wears and one thats on her car.
Half her wardrobe is based on his military branch. She owns lots
of stuff that has his branch on it. She never knew that could
love the color camouflage green,tan, navy blue, red or black
so much.
Next time you see her, you'll know her, thank her for
what the man she loves is doing. She will greatly appreciate
it and she will smile and thank you, and just because you
thanked her she smiles the rest of the day!
**** I went to dinner with a friend of mine tonight and one of our really good friends is about to be shipped off to Iraq and the topic of being married/engaged/in a relationship with a man in the service in some way shape or form. We came down to this...it's got to be one of the most difficult things to deal with ever! Her cousin is 20, married to a soldier in Iraq, pregnant and living in Germany...just realized what you all have to go through (though not in this sense for everyone) but I wanted to give you all a very large  and to say Thank you. You are special wonderful women and Thank your men for me too...couldn't have this great life without them and you*****
Sorry so long and sentimental....just felt it was something to say

Re: NWR: For Nina and all of those who are marrying a man of honor...
I agree completely. Being married to someone in the military, is one of the hardest jobs and it goes unrecognized by most. I appreciate all of you that support and love our men in the military. Hats off to you!
