I am an Army Wife...

[dea121885]

I wear no uniforms, no blues or army greens
But I am in the military in the ranks rarely seen.
I have no rank upon my shoulders. Salutes I do not give
But the Army world is the place where I live.
I'm not in the chain of command, orders I do not get
But my husband is the one who does, this I cannot forget.
I'm not the one who fires the weapon, who puts my life on the line
But my job is just as tough; I'm the one that's left behind.
My husband is a patriot, a brave and prideful man
and the call to serve his country, not all can understand.
Behind the lines I see the things needed to keep this country free
My husband makes the sacrifice, but so do our kids and me.
I love the man, I married, and Soldiering is his life
But I stand among the silent ranks known as the Army Wife !!!!!
