My husband is active duty Army and has been deployed to Iraq since last November. Everytime I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes and I rush to the computer to send him an email telling him just how much I love him and miss him. It's extremely hard to be away from someone you love so much for 12, even 15, months at a time. Letters, emails, and the occasional phone calls are what keep the sanity intact, and keeps their morale up. I think everyone should adopt a soldier and write to them on a regular basis. Even the simplest words could mean so much to them. Support your soldiers, even if you don't support the war! Hope for safe returns for all of our military overseas!

My husband is active duty Army and has been deployed to Iraq since November of last year. Just as marydoodle says, this song plays out my worst fear. Everytime I hear it come on the radio it sends chills down my spine, and I run to the computer to send my husband an email telling him just how much I miss and love him and hope that he's safe. It really tugs at the heart's strings regardless if you've lost someone close to you or know anyone in the military. It just sort of brings you back to reality that there still are soldiers dying overseas nearly every week, we lost 4 from my best friend's unit just last week in Afghanistan, and we can only hope for their safe return. This is by far my favorite song by Carrie.
