Nevertheless since the deployment of my spouse his unit and Well meaning spouses not in my situation have made me feel As if i. Am a Newborn who. Requires constant attention and direction. I understand that there arc quite a few spouses out there who Are not As fortunate nor resilient As i am. For some this May be he first time that they have been exposed to the military environment. For others this n1ay be their first time away from Home not to mention in a foreign country and they May not handle stressful situations Well i also understand that the concept of the spouse group is to be there for you when you need someone to talk to to receive advice from to just present a smiling face and a listening Eair. To this i say fantastic and thank you.

In the 1700s, new englander protested against Britain a new a Tea tax a and Ever since americans Haye shown their dissatisfaction of government by protesting. A a a. A y the a Tea tax protest eventually led to a War for Independence from British Rule which led to the forming of our great country. Without such protests and demonstrations where would we be today y protests for higher wages have been successful in helping develop child labor Laws workers rights and in More recent times the removal of . Forces in Vietnam. Back in the late 1960s and Early �?T70s, few supported sending our soldiers to Vietnam but it took years to persuade the government that its constituents did no to want our soldiers there. During the 1960s, Blacks were protesting they wanted equal rights. Mass demonstrations were con ducted All across the country these protests must have been a great impetus to the Congress and the Senate to make major changes in their Basic Laws. Since the 1960s, America has made major strides in desegregation and equal rights for Blacks and minorities. If we do not agree with a decision of our govern Mem we have a Basic right to voice our opinion. Rather than acquiesce this May mean writing a letter to a congressman or senator or joining a protest or demonstration. Where would we be without this Basic Freedom yet _ by Quot so As i sit in my car for up to an hour getting into a military Post i try to be understanding of those a damned it is a nuisance for the military police German police and Many others but i Hope that the a higher get the message that not everyone is indifferent to desert storm.
