I don’t know if all of this will post. It was sent to me via email. I married into a military family. From my husband to his cousins to his best friends, we cover every military branch. These are days of holding our breath and waiting for the phone to ring.

Thank you and welcome, Catlyn. That is a powerful editorial.
[sub]This is the awkward part. First, we aren’t supposed to post full, copyrighted material like that, although enforcement of this rule has been relaxed the past few days. Proper practice is to provide a link to it. Check the vB code link above to see how it’s done. Second, someone else already started a discussion of that editorial. This does not reduce my appreciation for the effort you took to bring it to us and I look forward to you having a long and fruitful relationship with the SDMB. Again, welcome.
sorry…it just said so much…i just wanted to share it. didn’t mean to break any rules…again i appologize
No problem whatsoever. And it is something that bears repeating. 
Catlyn- I wish you and your (very!) military family the best. This must be hard on you all. Good luck.
Catlyn, welcome. Please don’t feel like dropzone was scolding you, because he’s not like that. He just wanted to let you know the rules for future reference. What you posted was great and I hope you and your family all remain safe. I look forward to seeing you around here more! (Welcome to your newest family–you won’t get away from us now!)
Thanks to all…
No problem, Catlyn. I tracked down the article and provided a link.
Actually, you may have noticed that one of my personalities is a terrible scold. 
Really? I don’t have that impression of you. ::shrug:: Maybe you’re harder on yourself than you are on other people…?
