How to stay connected during deployments

as submitted by Rachel 

The best way to show support, stay connected and maintain your relationship with your solider while they are being deployed is to buy as many phone cards as you can and send them to your loved one. Write them everyday and when you are sending them a package put all your letters in and write about your day and how much you love and sometime put a story that you really love that you guys did. Also add little things to you package things that will remind them of you or something that will make him laugh. Take pictures of things he really likes doing. Like my husband loves to surf and ride his dirt bike so I took pictures of his friends surfing and I went to our local dirt track and took pictures of that.
 
To maintain a relationship you must stay truthful and find a good group of friends who will not make you go out at night or do what ever you are comfy doing. Write him your thoughts and make sure when he calls you pick up your phone. Try to keep yourself busy so you dont get down and start thinking about him and break down in tears. And where ever you go talk about him and how proud you are of him. Make him the king of the world. And when he calls tell him how much you love him and cant wait to see him.
 
I have stickers on my truck that say "Proud Army Wife" and "I love my Solider" and my sister in law also has a husband in the army and we like to make shirts and go shopping at the px and such so just the little things show support towards your loved one. Show all the support you can give.
