To the silent ranks who stand at the ready, long after the uniforms are put away:This is for the military and veteran spouses. The ones who managed the chaos of deployments, the uncertainty of PCS moves, and the quiet weight of holding down the fort while our partners served.We often talk about the frontline, but we were the home line.To every spouse who worked tirelessly behind the scenes—juggling careers, solo-parenting, and the emotional toll of the unknown—thank you. You didn't just support a service member; you sustained the foundation they stood upon.Whether you are currently in the thick of it or navigating life after service, your resilience is the heartbeat of this community. We see the sacrifices that never made it into a sit-rep. We see the strength it took to keep going when the world felt like it was on standby.To our fellow spouses: You are the unsung architects of every mission’s success. Thank you for holding the line.
