It's quite simple for me. Military families are, as we've always said, the backbone of the military member. They provide the support. They provide the support during a deployment. They take care of the dependants while the member is serving, maybe deployed overseas.
It's much easier, as you will know, if your family is well taken care of. You can do your work. If the military member is always having to worry about what's happening back home.... Are their children being taken care of? Do they have the child care necessary? Do they have the medication? Do they have a doctor they can access to get the support they need? If they are continually worrying about that, they are not able to concentrate on their job, which is taking care of us around this table.
