My mother was also an Army wife. My father was deployed 2 times in the 1960's. The first was in 1962 to serve in Korea during the period of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the construction of the Berlin Wall. My dad was shipped off on special assignment and only given two weeks to get the family affairs in order. At the time my pregnant Japanese mother did not know how to drive, had spoken broken English, and she had no family living around Tacoma, WA. My mother had to take care of 4 boys. I was the oldest at 5 years old. It was the community of Army mothers that made this lifestyle bearable. My dad's second deployment was in 1969 to fight in the Vietnam War. He was with the 101st Airborne Division flying in Huey helicopters to support the fighting along the front line. That was the most difficult year of my life as a 12 year old. I had the greatest fear that my Dad might not come home. I saw the television coverage of the war, the war protests, and the race riots. At the time I did not like what America had become and I lost HOPE in our national leaders. At the time our family of 5 kids was living in Huntsville, AL. I was the happiest kid alive when my father came home. During my life as an Army brat my family would move 12 times in 18 years. We would split our time between Japan, Germany, and the USA. As an adult today I appreciated the community of military families and the shared sacrifices made by Military wives. My mom belongs to the special community of mothers. Mom have a Happy Mothers Day and love you with all my heart. Your oldest son... Andrew Matthew Thanks for sharing Jennifer. My mother was also an Army wife.

I am such a fan of this film and all that it means, as is the rest of my family, which includes a son who is an active duty Navy Hospital Corpsman. Your family's story touched us all so deeply and hit very close to home for us. We too lost one of our three sons at too young an age (18) the same year that our oldest joined the Navy. It was a very hard year, but seeing your family's story at that time made us feel like we were not alone - that other families went through similar tragedies and managed to move forward. This will be the third Mother's Day with my son so far away, and this year I will not hear from him because of his activities at this time, but he is with me every moment of every day in my heart. And this heart continues to swell with pride over the job he doing and the man he has become. On behalf of Blue Star Mothers everywhere, I thank you for the generous donation to our organization, an organization I am so proud to be a member of. Thank you to you and your family for all of your service and sacrifice. You're an example to us all. Thank you for sharing your touching story.
