Heart of a Military Woman
All original and true short stories, poems, and tributes from military personnel, their families and loved ones.
Excerpt:
Each day, women struggle with the decision to be a career Soldier, or a wife and mother. While many have been successful at both, the sacrifice that comes with that success is more than many can bear. Women in the military are some of the strongest people I’ve ever met. Who else can endure 12 or more hours on the job, many times enduring discrimination, sexual harassment, and control issues, only to come home and slip into wife and mother role, cooking dinner, helping the kids with their homework, putting them to bed, and then starting the entire cycle over again? On top of that, the threat of frequent deployments, broken relationships, and family struggles compete with the desire to finish college and participate in their communities.
Rhonda M. Lawson, U.S. Army, Sergeant First Class
