Starting The Next Chapter Of Life
TJ came back home one summer for a scheduled visit after spending about two years in the army. He decided to pop the big question to his long-time girlfriend Shelby, who was elated to accept his marriage proposal.
They didn’t waste any time walking down the aisle, because sadly, TJ couldn’t spend much time at home. Just a month later, he got deployed, and the realization dawned on Shelby that being a military wife isn’t all too easy. The estimate is that 51.5% of service members are married, and 37.3% of families with a deployed love one are children.
