Things You Need to Know About Home Coming

Deployment seems really hard to handle at first but with time you learn to adjust with it because things start getting better as you get busy with the mission and the sense of patriotism and love for your nation takes over everything else. You breathe, eat and live patriotism to prove your entire life is dedicated to the service of your nation.

However, there is a lighter side to it as well, among the hustle and bustle of life on the battlefield you get to think about as well. Coming Home seems like a breeze of fresh air to your war-weary auditory nerves. You want to dance your heart out because you can look forward to meeting your family and friends again. Here are few things you definitely need to know about homecoming:

1. You never have a fixed date for homecoming.

We know how it feels to be the battleground for months without even basic facilities of life at times. Staying out of bed for more than 20 hours a day sounds more than a punishment but it all seems justified to a veteran. You miss your family badly and then suddenly you get good news that you will be able to see them soon. This news sounds really good to you and you can’t help making preparations for your departure but hold on you need to keep in your mind that the date they gave you is not a fixed one and they can always make you stop for few extra days and you can’t complain.

2. Your first night home might not turn out as you planned

You plan a really great night out with friends or your spouse when you are on your way back. You believe your friends might be all at your house waiting for you and then you can have a great night or if you are in a relationship you might think it would be amazing to come home and relive those romantic moments you missed so badly. However, things don’t usually turn out as you planned. Your friends and family as so busy making preparations for your return that they actually get tired and can’t entertain you the way you expected. Thus, you need to learn to put up a smile to make them feel better.

3. Homecoming is not easy

It might sound unreasonable to many of you but you won’t believe it until you live it. Homecoming isn’t always easy. You have been away for quite a long time and you have gotten used to the distance so you don’t like being in many celebrations or hustle and bustle all the time. You came home from an environment of violence so your mind is numb and it becomes difficult to stop thinking about such things and adjust easily.

4. It is a great opportunity to fall in love all over again.

Homecoming is not as hard as all the points above illustrate there is a positive side to it as well. It is a great chance to let you and your spouse fall in love all over again. The physical distance has also allowed emotional distance to creep into your relationship but homecoming is the best time to fix it.

Respect Comes in Many Forms

When we talk about supporting our troops, what does that really mean? To some people, support is shown in the form of a sticker with a yellow ribbon or a banner expressing this sentiment. To others, support is talking about the value of military service and the importance of caring for veterans and their families

Remembering First Responders Throughout the Year

Veterans are some of the most important people in our country. Their service and sacrifice has made possible many of the advantages that everyone enjoys each day. There are many people who are called by a spirit of service and choose to take up this path of sacrifice. First responders, including fire fighters and police officers, are also distinguished by their proud history of personal sacrifice in the service of others. In fact, there is one day when a special effort is made to remember the brave actions of these and other first responders. Being mindful of the effort these people put in on a daily basis is one way of being supportive of their very important work.

How You Can Help a Service Member From Home

The idea of military service can seem very distant and alien to many people. The call to serve one’s country is not something that everyone responds to or chooses to express through military service in particular. Nonetheless, everyone has the ability to reach out and offer support, kindness, and fellowship to service members who are far from home. Being deployed comes with a lot of stress and uncertainty even in times of peace; being far away from familiar faces is difficult for any length of time and some service members will go for several years with just a few short periods of contact with family members. There are several ways that your family, community service group, church congregation, scout troop, or just your circle of friends can show your support and gratitude for the women and men whose sacrifices make our country strong.

Honoring Veterans at Home

Parents are faced with all kinds of complex tasks that go above and beyond providing for the material needs of their family. Giving children an appreciation of values like duty and service can be challenging for even the best-intentioned mother or father. Honoring veterans and active service members can also be a difficult undertaking, especially if the child does not have any immediate family members that they can look to as examples. Parents therefore have to come up with ways of honoring veterans in a manner that children can relate to.
