A Military Wife

My mother was a wife of a squadron commander, so I grew up knowing something about the support community built by and for military spouses and families. Here is a good example.

This military wife has the advantage of blogging to offer support to spouses of our deployed troops. She highlights legislation that affects the soldiers and their families, and links to many, many blogs and sites of interest to the military community far beyond her own base.

She's cute and fun, with an easy-to-read style. She is 'LoveMyTanker' and she has military-type names for her husband, two children, and dog HO4L (Hell on 4 Legs).

While visiting, check out her gallery of American flags from her readers. Take a picture of your flag and add it to her collection.



She tells us about a book The Blog of War offered free to enlisted personnel. For details, see her blog. While you're there, check her links to read thoughts of bloggers currently serving in Iraq and Afganistan.

A Favorite Military Wife

Take another look at one of my favorite military spouses. I wrote about her before, but I just returned from a nice visit to her site and thought it was worth mentioning again. She usually has interesting posts, and she has a wealth of variety in her sidebar.

She links to so many other sites -- some military-related from the perspective of other spouses, mothers, and active duty personnel. But there are sites written by all kinds of people. Besides blogging, she links to quizzes. For example,
What sport are you? She's football
How weird are you? 40%
What planet should you rule? Jupiter

There are links to blog directories, a home-schooling site, and a page offering unique toys -- and that's not all! Read and explore. I'm sure you'll enjoy.

And as long as I'm talking about active duty soldiers and sites I have written about before, visit here and send a Christmas card - for free - to our troops. My granddaughter just did, and said she hopes lots of people do, too. I thought I would pass it along.
