Oh Im so sorry to hear about this! It breaks my heart. My little brother just finished a tour in Iraq for 10 months and he is waiting for orders to go back. Its so hard to have a loved one go over there. This is all so senseless. I pray that the new president will put a stop to all of this next year so we dont have to go through this anymore. (((HUGS))) to you!

I am soo sorry! I know how you feel, my husband is in the Marine Corps and went to Iraq in 2004 as a rifleman and I was soo scared. Having a husband in the military is hard! My husband had been gone for over half of our marriage..with field time, schools, duty and deployments. I will pray for you guys, try to stay strong, I know it's hard.

I cant even imagine that..no way..this must be very difficult for you and your children!! Your husband and family will be in my thoughts..

I can't pretend to understand what you all are going through, but I'm doing the only thing I know how to help and that is supporting my friend who is running for congress. He is a navy veteran and he was an intelligence officer in the middle east. He wants to end the war NOW. I trust him. He is a good guy, a carpenter. I've contributed to and worked on his campaign. If more people like him run and are elected we will see a real change.

I hope all of your brothers and husbands and sons come home safely and soon!

cindy0721 01-11-2008 09:11 AM
you and your family will be in our prayers and tell your husband our family thanks him for the great work and the sacrfice he and his platoon and doing for our country...

I have no idea what that feels like. My husband has never been in the service. I'm sorry your going thru this. :( I will say a prayer that God keeps your husband safe and brings him home to his loving family after his tour is over. :hands: Please let your husband know that we are so proud of our servicemen and women. :usastar: Whenever you feel lonely, just remember your friends here on YT will be glad to talk to you. :)

wow I will keep him in my prayers ,and sending hugs your way.:hug:

I commiserate with you. My Grandson, who lives with us, is in Iraq for the second time. He was there all 2006, back for 2007, and now is there until ???? The first time I was just scared spitless, but finally learned to take it one day at a time. I hope the Lord is as kind to him this tour and keeps both your husband and my Grandson and all other sons, uncles, brothers, etc. safe in his care.

Thanks for your family's sacrifice. You will be in our thoughts.

kmko27 01-12-2008 12:43 AM
I am so sorry.
 
I can't imagine what deployment feels like, though I am sure one day I will know. Except here my fiance is actually waiting and wanting to go to Iraq. If and when he does...I can't even think about it. I am fortunate enough that all of my friends who have been over there already have all come back safely, I'll keep your family in my thoughts. Though I'm sure this does little to ease the pain, ((Hugs)).

This is so true, and as we know, they love what they do...and as hard as it can be we love them for it. Well, that and so many other things. You be strong for him, then come here and we will be strong for you. I don't know if you have ever run across this quote, but it is one of my favorites (and believe me I have a lot of these)..."We may not wear uniforms, and we don't have to salute, but we have a duty too; to stand by our men when they have a job to do. We are the proud members of Silent Ranks."

So sorry that your hubby will be leaving for awhile. The commitment that your family has is so appreciated. I am sure that it is difficult, but also so very much admired. You and your children are worried and saddened, but must also be so proud of that dedicated man!!

Thank-you (and your family) for your sacrifices and dedication!!!

I can understand what you are going through. I am in the military too. I have only been deployed a few times, but not for 15 months. I went to Turkey for 3 1/2 months right after the 9/11 then again the next year for another month and then was also gone to Hurricane Katrina for another month-5weeks. Where I have been is nothing like going to Iraq. The first time I went to Turkey me and my husband were not married yet, but had only lived together for 6 months before I had to leave. I was a basket case when I got the dreaded phone call that night at home. I will never forget it. I only had a few days after getting the phone call before I had to leave. It is a very emotional time and seems like you are never really ready to go. Spend as much time together as you can. I will be thinking about you.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I will pray for things to turn so that he does not have to be gone 15 months. But if that is truly his duty, then may he be safe and healthy and the time fly by.
Thanks, I am also praying that he doesn't have to do the 15 months or that he doesn't have to go at all......:(

Tinker'sMommy 01-13-2008 01:08 AM
Well, I was thinking about thanking everyone indiviually but that would take me along time.................:) ;)


So, I want to Thank Each one of you for all your prayers and wishes for my Husband, My family and Me, I feel like I am really going to need support during this months:( ..............I am just so heartbroken but I have to fill this heartache with COURAGE not only for My Husband, and Kids, but also for me because I will be so emotionally lost without my other half........I do pray that he is stationed somewhere where we can communicate everyday:rolleyes: or at least every other day. He is taking his laptop in case he can get internet service there..........I KNOW in my heart that GOD will protect him and us too but it's still a very difficult situation

Thank You for listening to me and most of all for all your support and understandig...............Mickie.

He is the love of my life, we just had our 13 year anniversary, but we've been together for 16 years, High School sweethearts;) :rolleyes: , we met when I was 15 and he was 17:rolleyes: ..............and we married when I was 18, he was 21. We have a 12, 10 and 7 year old, my daughter cries everyday, she is my 10 year old.

I know what a deployment feels like, because this is not the first time he's been gone, he has had 2 tours to Korea,. Bosnia and countless field problems which has kept him away from home, but IRAQ is something else........Please keep my family and my husband most of all in your prayers:( :(

Thanks, Mickie:( .

I understand what you are going through except I can understand being on the other side. I was deployed three times to Iraq and there is nothing worse than being away from your family. All I can say is keep yourself busy and support him because it sucks over there. You guys have been together so long I think you guys will get through this. Its a test of your love and relationship. God bless you guys and thanks so much for being a supportive military wife. We appreciate you guys. If it wasnt for are families we wouldnt get through those long deployments. Take Care

My son will also be going back in March, he was suppose to go to Japan for 3 mos, but his orders were change in Dec. he will be flying out in March for 6mos.
I kept hoping they would change his orders again but talk to him on Firday and they are already for having brifings so right now it's a 100% go.
My son is a Marine pilot, last time he was gone for 6mos, we heard from him twice, this time I was told he would not be in contact for the 6mos, we are given a emergency number to the Marines base if we need to contact him.
It's a scarey things we have to go through when our family memebers are in the miltary, but Trey (my son) believes in what he is doing and really believes that we are helping, so with that I support him 100% and do whatever I can on the home front.
I am right there with you with all the worrying and crying and I know the worst for me is the not knowing, the lost in voice contact, so I think about when they will be back home and the 2mos leave he will have when he returns.
If I can help you in any way please let me know. we are in this together all of us miltary familes, we have a special bond thats links us all .
