Salute to the SILENT RANKS

My friend Angie emailed this too me and I thought it was good enought to share.

I wear no uniforms, no blues or army greens
But I am in the military in the ranks rarely seen
I wear no rank upon my shoulders
Salutes I do not give
But the military world is a place where I live

I'm not in the chain of command
Orders I do not get
But my husband is the one who does
I cannot forget
I'm not the one who fires the weapons
Who puts my life on the line
But my job is just as tough
I'm the one left behind

My husband is a patriot, a brave and prideful man
And the call to serve his Country
Not all can understand
Behind the lines I see the 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
Soldiering is his life
But I stand among the silent ranks knows as the MILITARY WIFE

Here's my SALUTE TO YOU... CONGRATS on being STRONG and PROUD and TRUE. Being a
MILITARY WIFE isn't always easy and it really is the HARDEST JOB in the military.
