Boys, born close together, were seldom apart,
Each one once hidden, so close to my heart.
Baseballs and footballs, and trucks, red and blue,
Couldn’t get just one, every time I’d need two.

My husband is a soldier for the US Army for the last couple years. We had to deal with no free internet, this became ridiculous over the year or so he was gone. We are two person family and have a puppy, but we tend to be short on money because of other bills. (more…)

My husband is currently stationed over seas.  I am not sure if I am at liberty to say where exactly so i won’t.  He left in the begining of February.  We have a 2 yr old who misses his daddy very much, as do I.  We can not talk or email often.  We have talked on the phone I believe 3 times since he has been gone. All very short because of the cost.  (more…)

My name is Natalie and my husband is currently deployed to Iraq with Fort Drum’s 2nd Brigade.  He currently has to pay almost $55.00 a month to receive internet services just so we can stay in touch with other.  That money could be better used making sure he has everything he needs while there without cutting our budget short here at home. 

Together we have 3 children, and as anyone out there with kids knows, they are not cheap.  The military deserves better ways in which to communicate with their families that won’t cost them an arm and a leg.  I am extremely proud of my husband and of the sacrifices that he has made to serve his country.  They all deserve a Thank You and free communications with home.

I am the mother of a man who has now spent 19 of his years with the military.  He is currently serving in Afghanistan.  He has served in Iraq twice since the war began and has served in Saudi in the past during Desert Storm.  (more…)
