The Silent Ranks: Tribute to the Military Wife

“I wear no uniforms, no blues or greens.
But, I am in the military, in the ranks rarely seen.

I have no rank upon my shoulders. Salutes I do not give.

But in the military world is where I live.

I am not in the chain of command, orders I do not give or get.

But my husband is the one who does, this I can not forget.

I am not the one who fires a weapon, Who puts his life on the line.

But my job is just as tough, I’m the one who is always left behind.

My husband is a patriot, a brave and pride filled man.
And the call to serve his country not all can understand.

Behind the lines, I see things needed to keep this country free.

My husband makes the sacrifice, but so do my kids and me.

I love the man I married. The military is his life.

So I pledge to support my hero and stand among the silent ranks known as the military wife.”

Forever grateful to be apart of this amazing community. 💞 Happy Military spouse appreciation day.

One more quote that I like.

“Military spouses rise to every occasion. They make a house a home, while following their service member around the nation. They sacrifice their careers, and become volunteers. Military life tends to tear them down, but it forces them to be strong, to get back up and straighten their crown. They are the flu that holds the family together. They are the ones with a forced smile, no matter the climate or weather. They reassure their children as they countdown each day. That their daddy is safe, and will be back soon to play. They are usually one Murphy’s Law away from breaking, but they find the strength within to keep on waking. Military spouses are brave, resilient, ambitious, and strong. God bless them all today and all year long”

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🖤

Together we honor & remember. We may not know them all but we owe them all!

“There is a special sadness that accompanies the death of a serviceman, for we’re never quite good enough to them-not really; we can’t be, because what they gave us is beyond our powers to repay. And so, when a serviceman dies, it’s a tear in the fabric, a break in the whole, and all we can do is remember.

It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives — the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can do is remember.

There’s always someone who is remembering for us. No matter what time of year it is or what time of day, there are always people who come to this cemetery, leave a flag or a flower or a little rock on a headstone”

- Ronald Reagan

✨Things I wish I knew before my first homecoming…⁠
⁠
🇺🇸 Its an emotional day

Welcome Home USS Detriot!

Today was such a special day for many reasons. The main reason being that one of my best friends got her husband back from deployment.

The USS Detriot also returned home for the last time before it decommissions this Friday. The Detriot will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first ship that Phil served on. The first ship that Phil deployed on. The first ship I photographed a homecoming. And perhaps most importantly it’s also the ship that brought me some of my dearest friends.

So honored to be there today. Felt like returning home.

Welcome Home USS Detriot. And congratulations on a job well done.
