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”
