Military husbands Are a rare Breed. Although you possess human trails your Job obligations to the coun try in which you serve and protect and your family whom you love and cherish often place strains on you thai Superman could t withstand. My husband loves the . Army because of the benefits and the Security. He takes advantage  education and personal growth that the army provides and encourages. My husband is special to me because although we both know that his Job comes first in his mind we also know the family is first in his heart. This fact does t eliminate our problems when conflicts occur but enables us to pull together to solve or endure these conflicts. The array s slogan be inc Best that you can be is my husband s philosophy for daily living. He strives to be the Best sergeant and husband that he can humanly be. Oftentimes i must remind him that Superman is a fictional character that he can t emulate yet he tries. His inner strength and his desire to fulfil his responsibilities military As Welt As family make him push him self to reach the maximum Effort. Yes he does experience failure Only because he is human not because he did t try. Yes he gets angry and frustrated not because things did t go his Way bul because they did t happen the right Way. Fortunately he s Wise enough to know the difference. I m nol describing a superhuman. Military husbands endure stress Levels equivalent to air traffic controllers. Their workday has no limits nor restrictions. Time off is a luxury nol a guarantee. As a military wife i stand proud ready to serve my husband and our country. Yes wives we arc in the armed forces too. We have More flexibility yet we experience the same amount of stress and pressures when we Are called upon to keep Chr Home fires Burn ing once our Man is away. Hold your head up High you the military wife Are the reason your husband works so hard and slays dedicated. Wives providing support and Loving care help husbands to make sense of the demands placed on them. We Are the True com Manders who slay behind to plot the strategic Success of each Mission. The Only Reward i seek is to see my husband walk through he door. Tired and hungry he May be but he s Happy to be at Home this letter was easy to write. Once love is your guide the words seem to flow. I love my husband and i appreciate his Devotion to me and the . Army a proud military wife from the 17th us.
