Meet Essay Contest WINNER: Meagan Childers, Air Force Spouse
I am a military spouse. Five words, five powerful words.
My military spouse journey didn’t start out the way you may think it did. When I claimed my title as a military spouse, I was young, broken hearted and full of anger, confusion and regret.
Our First Essay Contest Across the Service Branches
So, We did a thing over here at Army Wife Network. We held an essay contest across all branches of the military as well as the Department of Defense civilian population. The contest theme was “Proud to Be” and we asked participants to describe why they are proud to be a spouse or loved one of a service member.
Thankful Through Deployments
Yes, you read that title correctly. Thankful Through Deployments. Seriously? What, in all of the deployment training, preparation and packing, family separation for six, nine, maybe twelve or more months of tour, and the reintegration back, is there to be thankful for?!
For the Love of Reading
My grandmother loved to read. Although reading didn’t come naturally to me, her ability to engage my interest in books, reading, and writing directly impacted who I am today.
The Revolving Door
When I try to express what military life feels like, after (16 years) I think of a gigantic revolving door. The door leads in and out in a circle, but the building inside holds halls and rooms filled with memories of all kinds.
