This is one of the favors we handed out at our wedding. It's an ARMY-issued dog tag each chain saying, "Love Conquers All Things." We gave it to our guests as a reminder of what love can do, and almost all of them still have these key chains on their keys. My husband is an active duty infantryman with the U.S. ARMY and has completed three tours of duty in the middle east on the front lines. He was injured during his last deployment, causing him to have 4 reconstructive surgeries on his leg, and he also lost many men in his company. We have spent over THREE consecutive years apart, and we're still going strong despite his injury, a great distance, and all the hardships that have come our way. As an ARMY wife, I have one thing to say: Love is yours for the taking; grab it, hold on, and love with intensity. True love can conquer all. My soldier and I are living proof.
Channing, as an ARMY wife, I thank you for accurately portraying soldiers in the military related movies you have done. Not all military movies are accurate, but you have played the roles with strength, and for that, I commend you and thank you. More people need to know what our men and women in uniform sacrifice.
First of all thank you to your husband for doing all he does and thanks to all the army men and women, army wives and army husbands and of course everyone that has any connection to the army.
Your wedding favor is gorgeous and it is so powerful!
God bless you and your family and the ARMY
I know I'm not a ARMY wife, but I am a MARINE wife and to you dear, I say Ooh-Rah and Hooah! I came from an ARMY family, so I know what you go through. As the girl above me said, than you and your husband for supporting this country. I'm sorry you've went through the terrible things you have, but like you said, love conquers all, and it does make everything better no matter what. Thank you again!
Semper Fi!<3

Thank you, ladies for the love on this photo! I wish I could say I took it, but it was taken by my wedding photographer among some of the decor on the tables for our guests. Ladies, support your men in uniform fully! I know what it's like to hate the distance, lonely nights, wondering if he's okay, and lastly, knowing the devastation of an injury, but LOVE them even when these soldiers seem unlovable because of how they shut down from what they've experienced. I give you lots of props for being with men in uniform---it takes a certain kind of strength. As I often say, God made women, and then me made military wives, the strength behind the strong! Thanks again for the love and support!
LOVE the photo! Its very true, love in the military is something very special, its untouchable. The spouse of someone in the military is someone special. It takes strength, courage, and sacrifice! We have to stand strong! I'm a very proud Marine Wife and I wouldn't change it for the world. So much love for you and your husband!!!!! God Bless!!
Thanks, Paula! Much love to you and your Marine!! Bless him for his service, and you for your support of him! I know first hand it takes it's toll!
