Wives and Mothers Honor Event

Sorry it's taken me a while to post this, but on 11 April 2008, I took my MIL to an dinner that honored the wives and mothers of the deployed soldiers in Utah. We heard from 4 different speakers and a musical number. TAG (The Adjutant General) Major General Tarbet and his wife spoke as well as Col. Robinson and his wife. The messages were all about the same, "You can do this", "You are stronger than you think", and "It will be over before you know it". It was kinda funny that Gen. Tarbet's wife was trying to tell us to text pictures and videos to our soldiers while they are still in the states. About 75% of the audience was about my age or younger and probably all doing that already. We were each given a rose and a gift basket at the end of the evening. The night was long, but it was good to get away from the boys for the night.
