Spouse Calls

Join the conversation with Stripes columnist Terri Barnes, as she explores issues relevant to the lives of military spouses.

For brats, "worst" is still best

The Oct. 11 Spouse Calls was written by grown-up military brats about their experiences, both good and bad. I am always interested in the perspectives of the entire military family. We often can make the best of even the worst of times.

An online article from a military town newspaper describes current military kids at their best, even if their singing was less than Idol-worthy. Read this guest column from The News-Enterprise of Hardin County Kentucky, written by the garrison commander at Fort Knox: 'Worst' rendition of anthem was 'perfect.'

You will be proud.
