The Military Spouse

This is something that a good friend sent me during the time that my husband was depolyed to Bosina in 1999. I'm not sure where she found this at. But, I know how true it is....

**The Silent Ranks**

I wear no uniforms,no blues or army greens.

But I am in the military in the ranks rarely seen.

I have no rank upon my shoulders.

Salutes I do not give.

But the military world is the place where I live.

I'm not in the chain of command,
orders I do not get.

But my husband is the one who does,

this I can not forget.

I'm not the one who fires the weapon,

who puts my life on the line.

But my job is just as tough.

I'm the one that's left behind.

My husband is a patriot,

a brave and prideful man.

and the call to serve

his country not all can understand.

Behind the lines I see the things

needed to keep this country free.

My husband makes the sacrifices,

but so do our kids and me .

I love the man I married.

Soldiering is his life.

But I stand amoung the silent ranks

known as a Military Wife.
