May God Bless and smile upon all the brave men and women (and their families that stood by them) that answered the call.
Many times we tend to forget the sacrifices the families make while a loved one is gone. Often times, it is a young wife with small children that is left alone to deal with normal life alone while her young husband is thousands of miles away.
My hat is off to these brave and wonderful ladies!!!!!!!!!!
