Happy MilSpouse Day, and Song Link Up
Happy Military Spouse Appreciation Day, ladies! I know not all of my readers are MilSpouses, but a lot are. It's nice to know that we are appreciated, and so much more often than once a year!
Silent Patriot
A woman for all season, a woman for today
She stands to meet all the challenges
And grows along the way
Her life is not an easy one
With many loads to bear
But she proudly serves her husband
And the uniform he wears
Although she didn’t take the oath
To preserve democracy
She’s there each day on the home front
To keep our country free
She’s foreign-born or a country girl
Diversity you will find
But to be a military wife,
It takes a special kind
She’s one who keeps on going
Through adversity and pain
She’s the steady strong foundation
When nothing stays the same
She’s the one who sheds a tear
As Old Glory passes by
But couldn’t give an answer
If you were to ask her why?
Throughout the years she marches on
Through tears and joy and strife
She’s America’s unsung hero ~
She’s a military wife
In honor of MilSpouse Appreciation Day, my song link up this week is my favorite patriotic song, America The Beautiful as done by Ray Charles. I honestly don't know why this is my favorite, except that I have a very clear memory of this song being in one of my favorite movies. Now And Then, maybe? I'm not sure. I could Google it, but I should probably get back to work on the office instead.
If you'd like to link your song up this week, head over to Goodnight Moon
