The Art Of Marriage Ops {Applebee's GC Giveaway}

Did you all know that I served in the military? I did. I was in the Alabama Air National Guard for six years. I was single for most of my time in the military, and the longest deployment I was ever on was for two weeks, so back then, I considered it a fun trip to a place I had never been before. Now that I have a family, though, I couldn't imagine being away from them for two weeks, and certainly not for several months at a time like our servicemen and servicewomen are now.

When a unit is deployed overseas, they are usually gone for a very long stretch of time. During that time, they miss so many life events while they are gone. They sacrifice so much of their lives to protect ours. Could you imagine missing the birth of your child? Many times, deployed servicemen do. When they come home and after the excitement of the homecoming wears off, they often fight a different battle...

I have watched that video several times now, and every time I do, it brings tears to my eyes. With military divorces on the rise the way they are, I feel like we owe it to these military couples to help them in any way we can. It only takes a $10 donation (via text message) to help a military couple attend an event showcasing The Art of Marriage. To find out more about how you can help, visit The Art of Marriage Ops on the web.
