we've offered our help while he's away. So far, she's not asked for help. Poet, serving in the armed forces is a family deal. wives and families suffer extreme loneliness and fear when the soldier is deployed in a war zone. the wives become very self-sufficient out of necessity. nov 11 is veteran's day...want to do something for America? get your neighbors together and have her over for coffee...give her a flower and say thanks. if their are kids, make sure they have a Christmas. this kind of act will do wonders for your entire neighborhood. uw

I heard a military spouse call into a radio talk show the other day. Her husband is a tank driver and was deployed overseas. While he was away, the lawnmower broke. During a casual conversation with a neighbor, she apologized for their overgrown lawn. The next day, one of her neighbors came over and mowed their 1-acre lawn himself. When she went out to thank him, he replied, "It's the least I could do. Bob's over there protecting all of us." And she called into the show to express her gratitude for neighbors like hers! I'm grateful for people like her and her husband.
