Let me start off by saying that, as a Marine Wife, it touches
my heart whenever offers like this present themselves to our community.
It takes a very special person to hack a life in the military and its even more
honorable when there are children involved. You can't truly understand unless
you've been there.
My husband was deployed to Iraq while I was pregnant with our first baby. He
missed the entire pregnancy but luckily got home just a few short weeks before
she was born. He was in a nondeployable position when I had our second baby but
was training when I went into labor and I couldn't get a hold of him! He made
it to the hospital just in time. In 2011 I gave birth to our third baby while he was half
a world away. He met her when she was 6 weeks old. This past May we concluded
yet another deployment where my three babies were without their dad for 6 months.

Our story is so "normal" in this lifestyle. There are many other families facing
even greater hardships and trying to survive deployments while raising kids.
If you know a military mom or dad whose spouse is overseas, and you feel that
they are deserving of this amazing opporunity, please follow the directions below
to nominate them!
Thank you, Plush Little Baby, for showing your support to us military families!
