What does it mean to you to be a military mom? As submitted by Pat
I'd been a single mom for most of my son's
life, so we had a special bond. Even though he was married and had
a child when he enlisted at 22, it was the hardest thing to hear
from him. At this time in our country, I knew he would be going to
Iraq. The pride and fear I felt waged a daily battle on which one
would win that day. He's in Iraq now, soon to be coming home after
his 15 months. The fear hasn't lessened, but the pride has grown so
much. I try not to think of the bad things that could happen, even
though they are always at the back of my mind, and try and think of
all the good things that we'll do when he comes home. Not only has
he spent the last 3 1/2 years either in GA or Iraq, his wife and 2
children have been gone, choosing to live near the base. I'm so
proud of my son for the beliefs he has and standing strong in them,
but I'm also proud of my daughter-in-law. It takes a very strong
WOMAN (she just turned 22) to leave her home and family and raise 2
small children in a place she's never been in while her husband is
off in a hostile land.
Proud Army Mom
