Back when my husband first decided to run for President, and I was preparing to go out on the campaign trail for the first time, I was a little bit nervous afraid that I would say the wrong thing, or be asked a question I couldnt answer so I decided I would focus on what I knew. As a working mom, I thought I knew a thing or two about balancing a full-time job with the round-the-clock needs of my family, so I decided to start by meeting with groups of working women to listen to their concerns and tell them how my husband could help.
For the most part, I was prepared; in the stories I heard, I recognized my own story. But there was one group of people whose stories were new to me and whose questions I often couldnt answer. I met them in just about every community all across the country. They were military spouses mainly women, but a few good men as well whose husbands and wives were serving our country, putting their lives on the line to keep us safe.
Their stories took my breath away
