I would also like to mention St Ignatius of Loyola, (who was once a Spanish Soldier) St Francis of Assisi (a Soldier also), Servant of God Father Emil Kapaun (a US Army chaplain martyred by Communist Chinese), and St Florian ( a Roman Soldier). Heck, the Pope was even a Soldier!
As a Soldier I like the idea behind their site, especially as my own wife knows well that I will leave soon.

Actually, only 2 of us are wives to servicemembers. The other 2 are just strong, patriotic supporters of freedom and country. I'll email your suggestions for additional saints to Barb who started it all.
My sister and her family just moved to the Fairbanks area and her husband (a Kiowa pilot) is to deploy later this year...just curious if you'll be on that same deployment. I hope your wife meets/knows other good Catholic moms (locally). That will be a big help to her.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
May He also be with your wife and new baby in a special way while you are gone.
Hello Dear Brother,
It is always good to visit your site. I know many devoted Catholic homeschooling moms whose husband's in the military. They display such amazing courage in raising their children especially when the husband is away. Praying for those husbands is always a priority to me. It would be my honor to include you on to my other blog: Eucharist and Rosary Novena. Email me at easter4g@yahoo.com. I can use your pen name. Let me know.
God bless you abundantly, dear brother!
