Army Message: Leadership Recognizes Personal Sacrifices by Soldiers, their Families

[G-2]

To Our Soldiers and Families: Today, President Bush announced his decision to return to twelve-month deployments in the CENTCOM theater for active Army units. The President’s decision reflects the improved security situation in Iraq – one made possible by your unwavering commitment and willingness to sacrifice – as well as the recognition of the impact of extended deployments on Army Families and our readiness. Today’s policy changes will help reduce that strain as we continue to grow the Army and restore balance.

Ya know....we don't talk about this much....(ever?).....but I'm still married to the same girl that I married the second year I was in Division.
For 26 years we've been married....she sure made things easier while I was in.
It seems like a military wife can be a huge help or a complete disaster, I'm lucky, I guess.
