Word of the day

The word of the day is expendable. This is what has been bouncing around in my head for the past 2 days.

Yesterday, while volunteering at the school, I had a chance to chat with another military spouse. The conversation quickly turned to the comings and goings of our respective husbands, the hostilities encountered when dealing with the military medical system, and, of course, Iraq.

Sherry said that the hardest part of the past few years was coming to the realization that "we" ~ soldiers and their families ~ are simply expendable.

Wow.

That word says it all.
