Hope: It’s What Defines Us
Every military spouse knows hope. Formally defined, hope is the belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life and implies that the outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary. From PCS to deployments, funny moments to serious ones, hope is the epicenter of our military way of life.
A Letter to My Soldier
Eric—
Hi. Well, it’s almost here, the end of this long deployment. Of all the times I thought, “how will I feel when he comes home?” or “wonder what I’m gonna want to say in that last letter,” I never really knew what I know now, in this moment.
Right now, I am simply proud.
3 Fitness Concerns for Women
Here are some thoughts from a dear friend. You’d never know that, in 1998, she ran a 3:01:30 at the California International Marathon and took 35th place among the females. At the Marine Corps Marathon in 2005, she helped the Army team take first place in the Armed Forces Team Competition.
Field Problem: Flag Etiquette
Dear, Field Problems:
Something I wanted to address and have you answer for me is “flag etiquette.” I see so many times that our citizens are flying our flag. As proud as I am to see this, I see them tattered and torn, flown at all times and in all types of weather. Are there any rules on how to properly care for them or restrictions on their use? If there is, I thought this would be great advice to share around Flag Day or Independence Day to your readers.
