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......

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 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.

My husband is preparing to go to Iraq in April

for 15 months, I dont know how to take it

I can feel my body going into depression already even though he still has a couple of months here with us. 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

, we met when I was 15 and he was 17

..............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

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."

Couldnt have said it any better....you rock

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 .
