Home Front Holidays

[…]your best to make it special, but don’t think that doing more will make it better. If you are a home front spouse this year, decide what is most important to you and just do your best. 3. Determine in advance to keep a positive outlook. Many well-intentioned souls (often including our own families) become especially “sorry for you” during the holidays. It is okay to publicly acknowledge that you would rather have your deployed loved one home, but it is also okay to truly enjoy the season. Honestly tell others that while you appreciate their concern, you have decided […]

Returning Home

[…]made in their absence and be positive about their spouse’s accomplishments. Troops may return home only to discover their spouses have become more confident and independent. They’ve had to operate alone during the months apart, and have grown by the experience. Feeling Like an Outsider Some soldiers hesitate to re-enter the family system since it’s not easy to pick up where they left off. They may feel like an outsider or appear indecisive. Perhaps the best way to return is initially as an honored guest– expecting their children to turn to the remaining spouse for permission, and letting the rules […]

It Didn’t Surprise God

[…]to my desk, I saw a blank yellow sticky note on my computer monitor–shorthand between me and my office mates for “your wife called.” When I returned Heather’s call, her normally steady voice cracked as she said, “Come home.” Right away I knew she had received the medical results–I told her I loved her and I was on my way. As I bolted from the office, I caught my squadron commander’s attention. Thankfully, I had told him earlier that day about Heather and the doctor’s report that there was a slight chance that the cyst on Heather’s thyroid was cancerous. […]

Leadership without Coercion

[…]civilian employee who was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. When we found out, I went to his office and closed the door for a private conversation. We discussed his treatment and prognosis. He had some questions about his benefits, some of which I could answer and some of which I had to promise to find out for him. At the end, I asked for his permission to pray for him. I said, “I know you are a Muslim, and as a Christian I would like to pray for you.” He happily agreed and we shared a wonderful time of […]

The Army designates a General Officer to meet every airplane that returns home carrying the remains of our Soldiers-a “repatriation of remains.” I received the duty and honor today, getting the call early this morning as the contract Boeing 747 lifted off from Ramstein Airbase in Germany, with the remains of five soldiers killed in Iraq this past weekend. We quickly arranged for the helicopter to take the Army Honor Guard (from the Old Guard, the unit that guards the Tomb of the Unknown) and me to Dover […]
