Julia Here....

It is Sunday night and another weekend alone. I love how so many people commented that military spouses do nothing, but sponge off their soldiers service. I have been married for 21 years this year. I have gone through so much by myself because of my husbands duty to this country.

How is it that we are considered privileged and pampered. How many of you have worried yourself sick. I don't go an hour out of my day without catching my breath and trying to ward off the bad and intrusive thoughts. I worry about my husband every minute of every day.

I may not be in a war zone, but my family lives the war every day. I do everything ALONE. I take care of everything that should be shared by two and I do it willingly, but it still sucks.

I cried myself to sleep last night because I could not get my mind to shut off. Some days are much harder then others.

I married my husband for life!!!!!!! I love him and miss him.

I would still speak out for MyCAA even knowing how people would respond. I believe in something and I know that the DOD did not handle this right. I would be going against everything I believe in if I did not tell the world how wrong it is to shut out other military spouses. It is not a secret how many spouses are in this military!!!!! It still hurts to read and hear the nastiness.

About Me

Lauren and Julia are Army spouses. Julia was able to apply for and use the MyCAA grant, and Lauren was too late to sign up. We have done several interviews on television, and in the newspapers. Many Americans wrote very negative responses to our interviews. Many were about how military spouses did not deserve this program. The comments that were left angered us, and this blog is our response to their comments, and what the interviews left out of the story.
