It is no more evident than in a military dependent family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17907530.post-41823771385458328772007-02-26T20:00:00.000-06:002007-02-26T20:00:00.000-06:00Not only that, but can you imagine the stress on w...Not only that, but can you imagine the stress on wives and kids if they have a loved on in combat?
