My mother…

Good for you, Star! You deserve it. Being together as a family post-deployment is wonderful but time for yourself is so important (and so hard to come by during a deployment!) The books like wonderful. Enjoy!

My soldier comes home on “leave” next month. This is our first deployment. Knowing there are strong women like you out there make it more bearable for newbies like me. Thank you for writing.

Army Strong Kids

My girls love the Army Strong song and listen to it frequently. Our Division Band played it at an event prior to deployment and it really stuck with my girls. We have even watched a number of the videos on YouTube of the Army commercials using the song. I am sure that most of us…
