I am an Oklahoma National Guard Army Soldier and a Proud Army Wife. I met my husband when i got attached to his unit back in 2007 and was sent to Iraq with him and his unit. We spent 9 months overseas came home and had 2 wondeful little girls. This woman has only been married 7 months and has yet to know what its like to be a real Army Wife or a Soldier. My husband missed the birth of our 2nd daughter, didnt get to meet her until she was 5 months old and then only for 2 weeks. he left in Feb of 2011 and wont be back until the end of March beginning of April of this year. Ive had a baby, 2 surgeries one while i was pregnant and the other a week after our daughter was born, our 2 year old asks daddy to come out of the computer all the time and hold her. I am alone and take care of everything for our family him and everything for him while he is over there. i dont get to call him just to talk or ask a question i may go a few days before we are able to talk. i dont get to spend weekends with him or go visit him. Oklahoma has lost 14 soldier and many many more have been wounded both physically and emotionally. there have many so many purple hearts given out during this deployment that i lost count. How can she say these fallen men and women werent soldiers because they were in the guard? thats right their HEROS!!! i do not feel that the families who have read that blog were very happy hearing some ignorant woman say guard soldiers arent real soldiers. shes never put on the uniform. she has no idea what it is really like to be aa solider or be on a deployment. the smell of dirt and stench, the iraqi's smell of BO so bad it makes you want to puke, the smell of dead bodies, having to touch the dead bodies, seeing your friends blood and guts all over after she blew herself away, being in another country for so long away from family and not being able to call as often as you would have liked. She has no idea about any of that but my experience doesnt count because im not a Soldier. Screw you and your ignorant thoughts. You take your lazy ass and go to Bootcamp and AIT and then take yourself over to Iraq. Then stay home while your husband is gone taking care of yalls kids and waiting for him to call, or worried that knock on the door might come. Have a baby without him there. You think just because you married a Soldier that makes you an Army Wife? No that is something you earn!! Im sorry you are no Army Wife and as far as i can see you never will be. i would like to start of by asking if anyone has read army wife, army life, stirring the pot? i read it this morning and could not beleive the things this so called “army wife” wrote. she should feel ashamed of herself and so should her husband who agreed with her. to say national guard soldiers are not real soldiers and their wives are not real army wives just angered me so much, it was not only one blow but two blows to me.

I am wondering if you can help us out. We have made it to the top ten in the "Salute to Love" dream wedding give away for military couples. We really need some votes. My husband and I were married in 2007 just three days before he left for basic in a quick VERY SMALL ceremony with just parents and siblings present, hoping (like many military couples) to one day have our dream wedding. Life got in the way and again like many military couples, because of his duty more than 60% of our marriage has been separated by duty. We now have the opportunity to win our dream wedding and need your help. PLEASE go vote for Walter and Lindsey at www.salutetolove.com thanks! Hello fellow army wives!

I must admit this is incredibly scary and life changing to me and was wondering what help is there out there? I feel that there is loads of information for him which is great but hardly any for me. Im hoping that this site and the people on here will help me? Im petrified and feel really alone in all of this :( Im also worried for when we decide to have kids, is it best to bring them up in army surroundings or not? I dont want them to feel this pain :( Thanks, Hannah Hi,
