Not too long before JD left the states, I came across a google ad for Deployment Bracelets. I rarely click on those links by this one had my attention. Not normally my kind of jewelry, but I was drawn to the idea of wearing a bracelet representing my support of my husband through this deployment.

I was fascinated by the idea of having a little soldier, complete with rifle, hanging off of my wrist.
I thought to myself, "If I had that bracelet, I would be protected the entire time JD is gone."
So JD got me one. Of course, it has his real name on it, not JD.
I wear it everyday as part of my personal armament.
