Just a few days ago, the First Two Ladies on the United States, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden announced a national initiative called Joining Forces. The idea is to combine as many elements of society as possible -- communities, individuals, nonprofits and businesses -- to make life a little less stressful for military families.
On this show, you'll hear about why that effort is necessary. When we think about our three theaters of war and the multiple deployments that seem to be, these days, almost a given, we tend to think of the soldiers, not his or her spouse or his or her kids.
For those families on the home front, the problems can range from mere frustration -- a mom with four kids and no way of getting coverage so she can spend an hour at the gym -- to massive: families literally coming apart under the strain and souses driven to suicide.
Five spouses and many more stories today.
