I am a stay home mom, a Military Wife. My husband was apart of the Rangers here on Fort Benning. My kids were in school and I was watching the TV when the first plane had already hit. I watched the second plane hit and called my mother-in-law. We watched in disaray !! I have been Military all my life and knew what this ment for my husband and our Family. The military post closed down no one could come or go. It was very strange to see the streets, ribbons went up flags went hafe mass. The kids came home. Life changed that moment, we would all be different. I watch familys looking for loved ones, as my phone rang with family asking what would come of my husband. What would happen now. We are at war, and every day I wake I tell my kids I Love them. And I pray for the families who can not do the same. We are strong and we are one and some how we will find a way to help one another understand. Take your child and hug him or her, tell your family you love them. And know my husband will fight with his life to defend your family and the life you live. And if he does not return to me, when this is over. I will know he did what he knew to be right. God Bless all who live this life that has changed. Don't let a day go by without knowing you did your share. A Military Wife of three
