Emotions

This image of a mother and daughter shows more of the inside view of a woman in the service and what she has to give up or leave behind while she serves her country.  Its very touching to see how overwhelmed the mother is to be able to embrace her daughter again. Struggles are tough for anyone who is away from their family, and there are times where Skype and other forms of communication just don't add up to the feeling of being able to hold a loved one once more.

Changed the three words under women from "Honor.Service.Loyalty" to "Duty.Honor.Country", because it is more commonly used among the United States Army. Where as H.S.L was something I wrote.
