400 Days; The Misery of a Military Mom

My son is a 1st Lieutenant in the U.S. Army National Guard. His deployment to Iraq will last approximately 400 days.
I praise God every day for watching over him and I count the days until his safe return home.
Remember, for every soldier returning home from deployment, another soldier takes their place.
For all of the military mothers out there who are miserable, missing their soldier while on deployment, I feel your pain...
God Bless Our Troops

Reading and Writing; aka Passing the Time...

Reading and writing have aided me in my quest to endure the 400 days of my son's absence. My addiction to following message boards on Query Tracker (as well as agents' blogs and Twitter feeds) now ranks close to my obsession with Diet Pepsi and chocolate.

Check out this link to an author (Dan Streib) who was a combat officer in the Korean War:
