HOWDY DUTY BY SONJA BROOM

The following article is taken from an article written by Harriet A. Daf-

fron, Wife. Iowa ARNG (Army National Guard). It expresses the feeling of

all wives of Guard members. It certainly echoes my feelings. This year the

Aurora Veteran's Salute focused on the Military family. When I attend-

ed, all of my senses were heightened. It was very emotional for all that at-

tended. The experience for me was one of Patriotism, Thankfulness, and

Love of my country.

"I am a Guard Wife and I am proud. In peace, I work beside my civilian

soldier to build a better world. I put aside the annoyances of drill week-

ends and camp periods - for I know that these make him the bone and sinew

of our country's defenses. I know he is learning the skills and discipline that

make him ready in emergencies. When he protects others from dangers,

preserves the peace, or gives comfort and aid in a disaster, I understand

and give him my support. For that has always been my job, nurturer and

healer."

Sonja J. Broom wife of MSgt Joseph A. Broom, retired
