Love, Honor and Oh yes lotsa RESPECT! HOOAAH!

Love , honor and respect, if you  have been in this world for some time you know these words, if you are miltary or associated wit hthe military you know these famous words and if you are married you ought to know these words, right? well, do you abide by them? Some words and phrases make m ponder  if I truly am?  As I found out that my hubby has been selected for yet another tour (third) to a remote country to defend our freedom.  My emotions were allover the place ; Why?  was my first emotion. Then I gathered my thoughts and realized things happen for a reason. Later that day we found out he will not be slated to deploy ( yeah yeah) but I wanted to ask my soldier the question why would you even consider the offer? He explained he needs to honor  his country, he was simply wishing to get the respect from his nation. Well, he can get respect many ways but putting your life on the line  when there are others who have yet to do so is  simply not acceptable when a soldier has over fifteen years service, purple heart recipient and has a family who has experienced more than most we now deserve the honor. My soldier came up with the phrase " I can go many places but my medal of honor needs to be captured at home from my family." All this miltary wife can say is HOOAH! I agree baby!  With that said, I have added a phrase in my twitter description to include Proud wife of a Purple Heart recipient.  So next time you see a soldier lets remember to honor and respect them not only for their service but for them being a human being  and mostly lest we not forget to thank the families they deserve your praises as well.   Let's remember Fredom is not free.  With love honor and mostly respect.
