09/11/01 As I sat today watching the horrible destruction brought to our country by terrorists, I was proud to be a navy wife. I haven't seen the coming together like a family in any other branch of the military like I have seen in the Navy. In times of high anxiety, when they are kicking the ships out to sea and securing the bases, we navy families still find ways to support and comfort each other. I received many phone calls today just checking to be sure that all was okay and to (I think) provide the reassurance to another navy spouse that everything would be okay. I just wanted to express my thanks for the love of the other navy family members that you see in these troubling times. It's nice to know that even when your spouse is away, there is someone close to lean on.
