I love my VETERAN

These are the guys that he went to Iraq with. All of them are really great guys. That was one of the hardest thing I think either of us has had to do. Yesterday I was reading some of the letters that I sent to him while he was in Iraq and Okinawa Japan. I asked him why he ever stayed married to me, I was the sappiest wife ever. It didn't help that I was pregnant with Jaine. I wrote some of the dumbest things, but at the time I guess that is how I felt. A look back at those letters and that first year of are marriage and I think that was when we really learned how much we loved each other. And all the while he was just doing his duty to his country. I don't think he has ever once regretted going and I know he would do it again if he knew that leaving me home with the kids with out him wouldn't make me go crazy. Seriously we owe our veterans and I am not just saying this because I am married to one. The men and women that went before us had it so much harder then we could even imagine. I would cry everyday that I didn't hear from Travis. My heart would hurt. I cant even fathom being a wife in any World War or any other war for that matter I have talked to a woman that sent her husband to war during WWII and didn't hear from him for 2 YEARS. Everyday not even knowing if he was alive. The men left their wives and children not knowing if they would ever see them again. All of this so that we could live in this FREE country. I love you Travis.
