Grab a tissue before watching the video below.
My husband hasn’t been deployed yet. The most separation we’ve had to deal with has been his 5 weeks at training. I didn’t realize how much I missed my husband until we met him in the airport and I started sobbing. I can’t imagine what I’ll feel the first time he comes home from a deployment.
I was saddened, but not surprised, when I read that military divorces have increased 42% since 2001. The soldiers coming home are dealing with so much more than just being separated from their families for a long time. It is sad to think that in addition to all the lives being sacrificed for our country there are now a growing number of marriages being sacrificed as well.
