i need find one geared toward Marine girlfriend but still

Remember that when you Support Our Troops, you are also supporting their family members!! And they could use all the support they can get!!

I'm the blonde standing behind you in line at the grocery store,
eyeing the newest Support Our Troops magnet while paging
through the latest issue of Modern Bride. The look on my face is
complacent and my thoughts are thousands of miles away on some
military base I've only been verbally described of over the phone.

I'm the young girl in the next car with the windows rolled up and the
glassy visage only on the road ahead. The radio is set to one of the
local country stations which is currently playing "Letters From
Home"... But you can't hear it because you're talking to a family
member or a friend on your cell phone. You catch a glance at the
Soldiers sticker on the bumper of my car but you don't know that
when the song reaches "my dearest love it's almost dawn, I've
been laying here all night long, wondering where you might
be," my heart breaks a thousand times.

I'm the girl who visits the Army girlfriend or wife website at odd hours
of the night to find some kind of comfort for that lonesome feeling
that has settled in the pit of my stomach.

I'm the woman who has fought an inner battle, trying to accept the
path the man I love has chosen. I'm the woman who will willingly
sacrifice my family, my home to follow a man clear across the
country. I'm the woman who never asked for this but deals with it
without complaint.

I'm the young woman who swells with pride every time I see my
Soldier standing tall in his dress blues. I'm the one who spots a
Soldier sticker, license plate, or flag and feels a connection with it's
owner, hoping that maybe she's not alone in this melancholy,
sacrificial situation.

I'm the one who hates war but knows that it's a necessary thing. I'm
the one who supports the troops, regardless of my own opinion of
the president. He is the boss of my husband, because he's the man
who our troops are fighting under.

I am the young woman who tries my hardest to go about my
everyday life. I am the young woman who tries to concentrate
during my classes and do the job I get paid to do. I am the young
woman who hates sleeping alone. I am the young woman who
closes my eyes and pretends that the man I love is laying right there
next to me, his arms wrapped around me. I am the young woman
who tries not to miss him, who tries not to cry whenever I hear his
name or even the mention of soldiers. I am the woman who is
terrified that the love of my life will be sent off to war.

I am many things.
A daughter.
A sister.
A cousin.
A niece.
A co-worker.
A friend.

But most importantly, I am the girlfriend, fiancee, wife of a United States Soldier. *(marine thank you very much)
