Waking up this morning and reading the news I see the story of 7 Marines killed in a training excise in Arizona. As I read on, finding out more and more details-my heart sunk. Discovering a Cobra & Huey had collided while in flight over a remote area in Yuma, this was their night time flight training. Six of those men were station here at Camp Pendleton.
As many of us who are military spouses know the names will not be released until family’s have been notify first and then all their protocols. Names will be soon be revealed. But it doesn’t change how we all feel; no matter if names are yet to be known-they are family and we mourn the loss of these men. Seven families are drastically impacted by the loss a love one, a father, a brother, a son, a husband and inspiration. As a military wife, I just can’t imagine this pain they all maybe feeling right now.
I am trying so hard not to cry right now!
Sadly there will be people who still to this day who will make sure judgments and say unsupportive comments about this sad event. But know they have no idea what it’s like to live the life these men so believed in-freedom & honor. Many of us who are fully aware of these risks when our husbands/wives go on a training excise-deployment-and even random daily life can lead to an end. We don’t like it, but that doesn’t mean our spouses will just stop and say “Okay I won’t go”. No they tell us “It’s my duty to serve my country and I will go when I am called.”.
My final thoughts :/…. Just know they are in Heaven with God, watching you-still loving you-telling you it’s going to be okay and know they love you dearly. Those found memories will never fade away, nothing can take that away from you, they are always in your heart, living on through you. Many prayers and love from many of us who are sadden by this event. Hugs! May God Bless you.
