My husband is in Afghanistan too. He just went back after his R&R... hopefully we'll see him again in February. Tell your husband thank you.

my wife cant listen to this without crying. this year i retire and ive never seen her so happy. she has a jar of jellybeans, with the number of days left matching the number of jelly beans. she eats one a day, we used to do this when i was deployed. now the end of the road is approaching, hope she can put up with me lol.

i just cried listening to the song. :( so true. anything thats says it on this song. my husband is currently deployed in Iraq since Oct. 2006. and its heartbreaking everyday but i love him so much. wish he'd be here already. :(

My husband was deployed in 2003 and this song is the absolute truth. No one can understand what we go through except other wives. I am so proud of my husband and the day he came home I came alive again. I AM a Soldiers Wife.

i dated a soldier for about 6 months. he broke up with me though. i still support him in anyway possible. i have moved on but we are still good friends. i loved him and still have love for him as a good friend, thank you soldiers for everything your doing for our country!

The hardest job in the military is not the infantry, convoy, escort, or police. They are merely the most dangerous. The hardest job is being the family. I thank my family for the now 18 years of support, as empty and shallow as the words make it sound. Its all I can give back to them.

i met Roxie tonight and she performed this song. It was even more powerful live. I can't understand how this wasn't a number 1 hit. I bought her cd. She asked me what I did for a living and gave me lots of support. How cool is that?

my husband is deploying in two months. I am very proud of what he does, but ever since i met him I've been wanting for this day to never come. It has been hard to be separated from him every month. Been a Army wive is one thing, but been a 18year old Army wive is harder i think, we are not as strong as the older ones are. But we have to keep it together equally when they are far away for so long. i love this song...

GREAT song Roxie. awesome video. I ama Soldiers wife/mother also Navy mom/mother-n-law. I SALUTE all Armed Forces for defending Freedom for me & all who rreside in the USA

I saw Roxie Dean live tonight at the Hank Williams museum in Montgomery AL. She sang this song beautifully and said it was one the most meaningful of all her songs. It was never recorded by a record label but she has sang it all over the country and always gets great response. Great song!

Im so incredibly proud of my husband and what he does but it hurts so much every time he walks out the door, much more when he leaves for weeks, months or years He is my rock and I dont know what I would do without him. This video shows just how hard it is being married to someone who is in the military. I pray all of the soldiers who are deployed return home safely and the ones who are supposed to be leaving have a speedy deployment. God is watching over all of them and is standing next to them

I feel so thankful to have found this beautiful song. My husband just deployed two days ago and I feel so heartsick, but this song reminds me I'm not alone, that there are many like me in this country who are dealing with the pain and heartache that comes with deployment. Come back to me soon babe, I love you and I'll be waiting.

That's my sister. The little boy eating the popsicle is my son. As you can tell, Roxie tried to include as many soldiers' families in this video. It's a shame it didn't do as well as we hoped. Incidentally, a portion of the proceeds from the song went to help the families of soldiers.

~This song is always touch my heart every time I listen, I 'am a soldier wife my husband been deployed three times one is during Desert Storm and twice in Iraqi Freedom. I know how she feel going to bed alone and worried about your husband are doing Ok. Take good care the kids and just do everything by your self while He is over there fighting so we have our freedom here.. GOD Bless Our Troops and there family. And GOD Bless America!!!~

Powerful! I have been there, my husband retired from 3rd Infantry after 22 years in & I am so thankful he came home safe, even if in many ways we will never be the same people, we love each other so deeply. We will never get that time apart back, but I would do it all again, I am so proud to have been a soldier's wife, Oh how I relate to all this song says. God bless our troops & their families, they serve there, we serve here.

Wow I have goosebumps! I am a proud Canadian Solider's Wife and want to thank-you for such a wonderful song. We are all hoping for a fast safe return of all the soliders overseas.

I agree I like it. Many do not really know we serve too. We serve right along with them. You said it MommieAJ3 we are the silent ranks.

I heard this song when I was a little girl while my dad was in service, so good to hear and find it again!

This is a wonderful song. So true to life. My brother in law has been to Iraq twice leaving behind my sister and their girls. My best friends hubby just left and she just found out they are having their second child. My cousin is there as well as another friend of mine. They all have kids and I hear how hard it is for them while their husbands are away. This song helps those who do not have loved ones over there try to understand what it is like for those who do.

Indeed, a very touching and emotional song to me. I am a soldier for 10 years between 1993 to 2003 and i understand how it feels on my wife when i am away serving for my country of Singapore. To all the great and loving wife of our allied American soldier, i salute you.

@soilderswife1 I am in the same boat. Im 16 weeks preg and hubby has been gone for 2 months. This is our 2nd deployment together. I am so proud of him everyday. Hes trying to make sure he can be here for our sons birth but we all know how the military is, so we just keep our fingers crossed.

My husband and I have been married since 07-28-2010 he is currently serving in the US Army and we are on our first deployment, I can not watch this video without crying, but I know that I have to be strong for both of us, I may not be in the army but I serve in the silent ranks and I am PROUD of It HOOAH

I am a Army wife of a Canadian Soldier. This song just fits so well. I'm in tears. It hard. What we go through, most people can never understand or imagine. My hearts out to all the american and canadian troops and their families. Their families sacrifice just as much and are heroes to me. If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. May they all come home soon and safe.

@MrRageSpawn thank you for serving our country sir. god bless you and your wife :)

AMEN to you. My son just got back from Iraq. He serves with Special Forces

This makes me cry so much...my husband and I are going through our first deployment and it's so hard. I miss him so much...this is perfect to describe my feelings...

i understand your pain honey. i am too!!! and u miss them more and more everyday... but when u get to wrap your arms around him and know he is home. IT IS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD!!!! god bless you..

Speaking as the wife of a soldier who is currently deployed, this is exactly what it's like. It feels good to know that someone understands.

Last night my family and I met Roxie last night for my sister in law at her graduation my brother in law got early leave from Afghanistan he's in the U.S. ARMY we are so proud of him

Very moving...military spouses have my respect and prayers every day. My hubby used to serve and I don't think I could handle deployments

I miss my marine. Please bring him home safely.

Amen to that... i'm a navy fiance and that song touched my heart!! :) GOD BLESS THE USA, and all of the men and women in any military branch!!!!

My husband is on tour right now, its our first deployment, I miss him so much, this made me cry but isnt true

I Love Roxie's Voice!

She didn’t get that twang until she moved to Nashville.

His tour is for one year starting on the day he got there. He was mobilized several months before that, and away preparing for mobilization a few months before that... he's already been gone more than 11 months.

amazing song i love it

I'm a soilders daughter, I know what it's like to have to see someone I love walk away and not knowing if they are comeing home or not. It's so hard to live everyday not knowing.

It's even harder when you're both in the service.. I'm in PA he's in Germany

same here

hi mrs.roxie say hi to parker -ella bassham

I'm a soldiers wife and damn proud,that punk who's running his suck below has no idea,so don't get worked up over what he is saying.We know the TRUTH and thats all that matters.

@tsahv I think she was talking about those who spread their legs when hubby leaves....

I’m not with him. We just talk to each other until he comes back and then maybe we will get together. I miss him he’s been in my life for 2 years. He just got deployed from base

hi mrs.roxie me ella bassham say hey to parker ;)

it is hard to understand the mentality of an American soldier murdering Iraqis, including Iraqi children who pretends a good husband and father in his own home.
