#1 thing you DO NOT ask a military SO…
Not just S/Os, but family members.“What would you do if he died/etc?”….that is the most disrespectful question ever, I’m sorry but I think it’s so rude.

What all Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen and Coasties should know about their girl
My son and I saying goodbye before I left for Afghanistan.
I love looking at the way he is touching my face— such admiration and love. Despite having to leave him, this picture shows me that I am doing a good job as a mother.
One day he will understand why Mommy has had to leave so much— Korea, Japan, Iraq and, now, Afghanistan.
Azrael Gene, Mommy will never ever stop loving you.

Reasons
MOM: Why are you going to join? Do you hate me?
TEEN: No!
MOM: Do you like to end peoples lives?
TEEN: No!
MOM: Then What?! Do you want to die for nothing?!
TEEN: I’m joining because I love you, because I want to save the lives of the people in my life, and so I can LIVE for something!
This is my uncle, Ramon Rivera. He served two tours in Iraq. After the first he came back with cancer but they sent him on the second tour a while later. He has been back for a while now but unfortunately is in the hospital. The cancer is in remission but he is extremely sick and doctors don’t know what is wrong with him. I’m asking everyone to just take a second and pray for him or at least keep him in your thoughts and hearts, that he get better and God takes care of him. I love him dearly and am so proud of what he has done for our country.

I never see posts thanking Hospital Corpsmen or Food Specialists for keeping everyone patched together and well fed.
The photographer Platon took pictures of hundreds of men and women who volunteered to serve in the military and were sent to Iraq or Afghanistan. He followed them on their journey through training and deployment, after demobilization and in hospitals, to compile a portrait of the dedication of the armed services today.
