Kerri Rodriguez wiped away tears as she said goodbye to her husband, ...
"It's their job. If they've got to go, they've got to go," she said. "I'm just very proud of him that he has the opportunity to serve his country and bring a lot of pride and honor to his family."

Now that brings tears to my eyes. What a great attitude! Her husband is a very fortunate man.

Yup. My ship (minesweeper) leaves tomorrow from Texas; we weren't told to get ready until right before Christmas. Wife ain't happy, but she comes from a Navy family, so she understands.
