I think my peers and I, us “millennials,” are the 9/11 generation.
To most of us, this was the most formative moment of our childhood. Too young to understand the immense hatred that was brought to our doorstep that morning. And yet, we’ve spent the rest of our lives picking up the pieces.
Late last month, President Trump announced that he established an official Space Command.
“As the newest combatant command, SPACECOM will defend America’s vital interests in space, the next war-fighting domain,” said President Trump in the Rose Garden, August 29, at a ceremony announcing SPACECOM.
“Now, those who wish to harm the United States, to seek to challenge us on the ultimate high ground of space, it’s going to be a whole different ballgame,” said President Trump.
During the ceremony, he introduced Gen. Jay Raymond, United States Air Force. The four-star general will serve as the first commander of SPACECOM.
Located in south-eastern providence of Limburg, Netherlands next to Belgium and Luxemburg, lies USAG Benelux-Schinnen, Netherlands.

Stars and Stripes recently shared information regarding a new program from the Pentagon called Military Spouse Transition Program, or MySTeP. The program will be rolled out this month and will offer short videos to help military spouses through all stages of their service member’s military career.
MySTeP focuses on all stages of military life and divides spouses into categories: New spouses, mid-career spouses, and those preparing to transition. These three categories are labeled as, “Stepping In,” “Stepping Through,” and “Stepping Beyond.”
The new program aims to empower spouses from the first day they step into military life until the day their spouse transitions or separates. The MySTeP program focuses on a wide variety of topics to help spouses get their bearings and navigate military life.
How do we measure a year? A good question, and one that is front and center on my brain tonight.
It is Deployment Eve…
…one of the hardest nights for military families.
I can’t sleep.
The house is littered with duffle bags, packing lists, and emotional land mines as we face the 525,600 minutes that lie ahead.
It is assuredly not our first year apart, and as much as I would like to say that I have lost count, it would be a lie.
