After reading your book it became obvious to me that several of my men's wives must have used your tips while we were deployed in Afghanistan. These guys always had a smile on their face and were the envy of the base. Thanks for making our stay overseas that much more bearable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful ideas for deployed military families, March 11, 2004

By	Wife of deployed active duty Army soldier (Hawaii, USA) - See all my reviews

A great book for families, a great resource for Armed Forces Family Readiness Groups! This book provides realistic ideas and numerous activities to do before, during, and after deployment. It can be used by any branch of service and every circumstance that a deployed service member is affected. I personally did many of the activites suggested, and feel more connected to my deployed husband because of them! What a great asset for spouses and children of our service members.
