Silent_Ranks' Scoop
About me:
Silent Ranks is a group for those who were left at home while their service men/women are deployed or just far from home. We offer support and comfort to those who would need it during this stressful and worrisome time.Those who support our troops are also welcome to join the group.
We do not have membership fees and will not ask for you to pay them any time soon. It might be a possibility in the future, but not right now. Also, it is not required that you add a "tag" to your name. The place we call home is Cowboys Bar, simply because of the fact that all our current members/supporters spend most of their time on RLC there.
There are no current scheduled meetings until we get more members/supporters. Once we do get up to a certain number we will post it on our profile calendar and in a bulletin.
Since this is a relatively new group, more information will be added as time goes by. Thank you for your support and please pray for the safety of all the service men and women overseas.

Who I'd like to meet:
The Silent Ranks Poem
I wear no uniforms, no blues or army greens
But I am in the military of the ranks rarely seen
I have no rank upon my shoulders - salutes I do not give
But the military world is the place where I live
I'm not in the chain of command, orders I do not give or get
But my husband is the one who does, and this I can't forget
I'm not the one who fires the weapon, who puts my life on the line
But my job is just as tough. I'm the one that's left behind
My husband is a patriot, a brave and prideful man
And the call to serve his country not all can understand
Behind the lines I see the things needed to keep this country free
My husband makes the sacrifice, but so do the kids and I
I love the man I married, military is his life
So I pledge to support my hero
And stand among the silent ranks as the
Unknown Military Wife
The Military Girlfriend Poem
I am a military girlfriend. I hold no formal recognition with the powers that be. I am at the bottom of the chain. I hold no Military ID card, I am not a "dependent" or a parent. The man I love may face unspeakable dangers, and I am at the mercy of those who possess this recognition for news. I understand this and accept this.
I am a military girlfriend. I have promised to be here for him upon his return, no matter how long he is away. People may say I am insane for making such a commitment with no guarantees, but I hold onto our promises and have faith that he will come home safe to me. I know full well that my love for him fuels him in the worst of times.
I am a military girlfriend, there is a ring on my finger to symbolize our commitment, but it means he'll be home for me. I hope every day that he will be able to call because a simple 30-second phone call can bring the greatest spectrum of emotions...smiling with tears in my eyes from so much joy and pain. My relationship is based on a brief volume, and gives me the strength to keep going.
I am a military girlfriend. I take no moment spent together for granted. I hold onto every touch, caress, kiss, every word. I have memorized the feel of his skin, his smell, the sound of his voice, and I play it over and over in my mind so that I will not forget. I cry myself to sleep some nights because missing him hurts so badly, but wake up the next morning, brush myself off, and start a new day.
I am a military girlfriend. The events of the next several months hold my life, my love, and my future in the balance. When you watch the news reports, you may turn away and go about your business relatively unaffected. When I watch news stories of the war, I do not see nameless soldiers a half a world away. I see individuals who will be forever changed by war. news of every casualty causes me physical pain and deep sadness.
I am a military girlfriend, not a spouse or family member. When you say your prayers for the wives, mothers, and fathers, please don't forget about me...
