who goes un-noticed all the time? ARMY WIVES? Your husband is deployed. When you married him did you think marriage would be a walk in the park? You didn't expect to have him home with you 24/7 did you? I'm not trying to be mean, believe me. But you just have to pull yourself together. You can't be feeling down all the time. If you let your husband know exactly how you feel, you're going to make him worry more than he already does. Cheer up.

Well its a hard question to answer, but if you look in the paper or listen to the local news you notice that no one supports the war any more. It's a horrible thing when Paris Hilton goes to jail makes the front page but another soldier that dies is maybe on the last. It sucks that people dont even care that soldiers are getting killed but instead they're worried that wow gas prices sure are getting expensive. This I promise though, us soldiers realize the pain you are going through and appreciate all things you do. Thank you.

I promise you that you're not unnoticed.
I can't speak for the Active Duty soldiers because I know they have close FRG's and support from their installations, but as for the National Guard and Reserve families, it's much harder. People just don't know what to say to you because they have absolutely no clue what you're going through. My wife is going through that, right now, and it's hard. I know that. Especially if you're an officer's wife. Typically, officers aren't from the same community that they unit is in and our families tend to get left out of the FRG's so their left to deal with things on their own.
As soldiers, we owe our families more than we can imagine.
Thank you for being strong for your family and your husband. We all truly love and appreciate what you guys do for us!

Military spouses get tons of support and respect. I don't really know where you are trying to go with this question, but you have support groups availible to you. It is called the FRG. And a TV show call Army Wives. Being a military wife is hard, but it is noit life threatening, hince why no one buys you drinks at a bar, or pats you on the back and tells you good job. Your thanks is in that hug that you get from you husband and the love you recieve for not going behind his back and having sex with have the post.

Didn't a major US television network just create a primetime drama called "Army Wives"?
You're not unnoticed. If you were expecting people to worship the ground you walk on just because you married a guy in the Army, then think again.

I think a lot of people know about the hardships the military and their loved ones experience(know of, but can't quite relate). They just are all caught up in their own lives, etc. It's like 9-11. We all got together momentarily, and hardly any time had passed before we were already back to normal.

why should we be singled out? we have our own support system on base and in our commands. I for one, don't need or want people fawning all over me just because my spouse is doing his job.

Not with my family you don't. We stop and thank the military men and women, shake their hands, introduce our baby daughter, tell them that I teach my students who our real heroes are (not teachers, sports figures and pop stars), and also tell them that if our daughter decides to join the military we won't "support" them...we'll be proud as hell.
Then we stop and say to the spouse, "Thank you, for what you do every day for him/her, and for our country."
Thank you, for what you do every day for him, and for our country.
