To some, the news is just news. It does not and most likely will not effect them directly, as of right now. But for military families across the country we are living in an intense waiting game of what’s to come. Some are waiting to hear from their spouses who have already left, some are watching their spouse pack in anticipation of leaving, and others know in their gut what’s coming- it’s just a waiting game at this point.

I look at this photo of my husband and wonder, what’s next- where will this lead our military, and will I get him back from whatever is to come? This is a TRUE and overwhelming fear right now in the military spouse community. It’s like living 2001 all over again, instead this time we’re not kids anymore.

America and her freedom is such a beautiful place because of men and women willing to serve, but it would be extremely naive to think none of us are scared, that none of us are worried. Latch on to your military community, pray for them, and love them- like there is no tomorrow. We need words of reassurance right now, we need words of kindness and gratitude to our service members, they are struggling right now. Save the political debates for someone else. We need each other and the support of this country more than ever right now.

Please remember, freedom is not free and this country is amazing because of the American Soldier willing to lay their life down for it, even if that sacrifice comes with the despair of their own family.
