When America goes to war, our families go to war.

In a sense, our military families are on the front lines and must deal with the consequences of war. When their loved ones are wounded or killed, there is a very real emotional, psychological and, sometimes, financial toll.

They need the time and space to rebuild relationships with their spouses and children, to find solace and peace and to help heal physical and emotional wounds that too often devastate our military families.

For example, from the Brozovich family (pictured above at a family retreat):

"It was five months on March 18th since my husband was killed by an improvised explosive device and I was told that we did need to get away. Everyone was right and thanks to [Wounded Warrior Family Support] that was possible. I was able to see our 11-year-old son act like himself for a whole week again which meant everything to me... I will never be able to forget nor do I want to forget my husband. He was a wonderful husband and father, but to be able to feel normal for a week again is worth so much to people in our situation."

So when you consider support for our military and its veterans, pledge to also keep in mind their families. Our warriors, when they fall, do not fall alone -- their families also fall with them.
