Proud

A personal story in the experience: I Am a United States Army Wife
I am so proud of my husband. Right now he is in Afghanistan for 6months, not easy. It's so difficult for them out there and with him being quite young I am really proud he's making something of his life. A lot of his friends are out on the drink every night and doing drugs. Sleeping around and moving from job to job. Yet here he is married with a great career and a future. He doesn't do drugs and doesn't drink too often. He can be a nightmare at times but compared to a lot of men out there I think I'm very fortunate. I love him with all my heart and I am proud to call him my husband!

He went away for 3months two weeks after we married, but that was only to Cyprus and obviously not dangerous there really. This is the first PROPER tour, he did go to Iraq for 6months but that was before we got together. I can't wait for him to come back!!

Not missing him as much as I should, thats what it feels like. I forget about him at times and then I feel bad!! It's a good thing though I guess because it means the time goes quicker coz I'm not stressing so much.

You both have our wholehearted support. He has our prayers for a safe return, and you have our respect for holding on! I truly hope he is home soon.

Hello, my husband is also in Afghanistan, he left two weeks ago. You are a strong brave sole. I support all of our soldiers over there and pray for their safe return home. God Bless.
