It is important to thank our military men and women for protecting us, but what can we do for the families left at home trying not to worry?
If you know someone waiting for their loved one to come home, keep in touch with them. Share your joy, laughter, and love. This is the greatest kindness you can do for them.
You are resourceful. If you see a need, fill it. If you can't, contact someone who can.
Maybe they need someone to play with the children while they talk to their loved one.
Give the parent some "me" time -- to read, soak in a bath, or sit in silence.
When you go to the store, ask if there is anything you can pick up for them.
I'm sure you have many ideas about how YOU can help them get through the "waiting period".
One thing all of us can do; Hold them in your heart - and in your own way, "pray".
