i had an opportunity yesterday to work with a young married / military couple. we started talking about, of course, current events. the husband had just returned from "somewhere." i expressed my appreciation to them both for their obvious dedication to our country, and for the peace we all have because of servicemen and women like themselves. the wife got tears in her eyes while i thanked them. i asked her why...she said so often they felt shunned, hated, or blamed for the war. it was obvious that they needed to hear that they are appreciated. it was an honor for me to give my thanks. unfortunately, this is not an atypical situation. i hear this frequently from military families here. i hope we can pull together and give them some serious support.
