Army Brats: Pictures

A Soldier's Wife

I do not wear tags or boots on my feet

I have never shot a gun or endured Iraq’s heat

I don’t wear a uniform or rise early for PT

I won’t ever get promoted and I don’t eat M.R.E.’s

I do, however, wear a ring on the left,

The one that he gave me, the day I said yes.

I vowed that day, to stand by his side

While he fights for our freedom with honor and pride.

I promised to care for our kids and our home

I knew there’d be times when I’d sleep all alone

But that is okay, I chose this life

I take pride in being a soldier’s wife.
