***The Silent Ranks***

I wear no uniforms-no blues or army greens-For I am the one in the military ranks that is rarely seen. I have no rank upon my shoulders. Salutes I do not give-But the military world is the place that I live.I’m not in the chain of command. My orders I do not get-My husband is the one who does, and this I cannot forget.I’m not the one who fires the weapon, who puts my life on the line- But my job is just as tough, I’m the one left behind. My husband is a patriot, a brave and prideful man-The call to serve his country I cannot always understand. Behind the lines I see the things needed to keep this country free-My husband makes the sacrifice, but so do my kids and me.I love the man I married. Soldiering his life- And I stand among the silent ranks, known as the military wife.
