In writing War Bonds: Love Stories From the Greatest Generation, my own experiences as a military wife gave me insight into the unique challenges these couples faced when military deployments separated them.
I had a taste of single parenthood during my husband’s active duty days. Hats off to the wives and the husbands who hold down the fort and keep the family running when their spouse is deployed.
I’m thankful that the military is now recognizing that when one member of the family serves, so does the rest of the family.
