I have two uncles who were career Navy, one of whom had 4 sons who are also career Navy. Of those 4, 2 are retired pilots (both served in the Gulf War), one is an active pilot currently stationed in Germany, and 1 is a retired SEAL. Very often, their wives (especially the SEAL's wife) didn't know where they were or when/if they'd come home. It's not an easy job, and the women who can stick it out with faith and love are remarkable. I admire both of you. <3 And Go Navy.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06047448565179055542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591028344666367215.post-89408489462203508512018-11-30T12:19:23.434+09:002018-11-30T12:19:23.434+09:00Love you, Amanda!Love you, Amanda!Myrnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450610418971329885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591028344666367215.post-32054611321464734012018-11-29T19:27:11.503+09:002018-11-29T19:27:11.503+09:00Basically!
