The families are the standard bearers. <br /><br />I do worry that the fleeting resources for families will soon vanish, given that wars are winding down and we've never been very aware of their sacrifice. It's a politically easy budget cut.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10340147072250609736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191202267854919416.post-48415074047824282892012-05-29T11:00:22.709-06:002012-05-29T11:00:22.709-06:00Thank you, Ken!

So it easy for us to miss the considerable commitment not just of the men and women who sign up for military service, but also the families who support them and live with the anticipatory grief that combat deployments bring to their daily lives.<br /><br />These families will continue to face incredible challenges rebuilding their lives even after the troops come home.
