As we plan our wedding (over skype) we discussed how our love isn't ordinary, it simply cant be, so neither will our vowels be the day that we become one. So we have decided that these poems will be part of our vowels. No mater how many times I cry reading this, it brings my heart happiness knowing we aren't giving up no matter how hard it is.

Then I went reserve and spent 4 years in the USAR and 2 years in the USAFR before returning to the USMCR for 24 more years. I was mobilized twice during my military reserve and collateral civilian law enforcement career and spent my last combat tours in DS/DS. I met my wife 47 years ago just before my last 13 months in RVN and over the many years and deployments we have used poetic writings to express the faith, love, duty, trust and deepest concerns for each other and our family, service and country and Our God to bind and sooth our often long distance relationships and their danger. It seems that true warriors and their spouses seem to share such similar emotions and your back to back soliloquies bring that into the spotlight in a very beautiful manner. <br /><br />Thank YouChaplain Ray Fairmanhttp://www.rayfairman.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484957168950195936.post-1521757114674697552015-08-12T04:25:41.904-05:002015-08-12T04:25:41.904-05:00Nearly shed a tear at this, what a beautiful expre...Nearly shed a tear at this, what a beautiful expression of love and gratitude and awe!

So I understand the sacrifices made from both the husband and wife. Yet this poems brings tears to my eyes as I am now raising our son alone as he is still active. He is serving in the SAND as did I before the birth of our son. I salute all wives keeping their heads up in very difficult situations being faithful and being strong trusting their soldier with more than their lives. Long distance marriage and relationships aren't the easiest but its the most challenging to how strong the love is.

And while we have only been together a short time, it has allowed us to connect and test our value of each other. He has asked me to marry him. He will be home this Feb possibly baring any changes and if it does, I am quickly adapting to the "unknown" factor and taking all the communication I can get with him. I have said I am his. I love him so much, he is the man of beyond my dreams. We email and he makes it a point to chat with me everyday at some point. There is no schedule, so I make myself available to him. I would like to ask permission to use this poem and include it in my project I am putting together for our wedding. I have printed all the letters from each of us and will put them all together in a frame for our wedding and our home. Including this with it, will be a surprise to him and it is a promise I do intend to keep. Thank you so much for it!!

I started to cry reading this because the strength and love you both need to have, the trust and above all a foundation of understanding. It gave me such peace because my boyfriend is Military Search & Rescue, and he has no interest in leaving & I see the passion he has for the military. We've been together for a year but grew together since we were kids. So, thank you for that beautiful insight, and for showing us your vulnerablity only to be strengthen. It's beautiful. And I look forward to spending what moments God privileges to us. I'll continue to love & keep him close to my heart.Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751531621010083321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484957168950195936.post-13103080765469042362014-08-05T05:46:54.046-05:002014-08-05T05:46:54.046-05:00My mother was an army wife for 17 years until I wa...My mother was an army wife for 17 years until I was 13.
