"Thank you for writing this journal. My husband has been in Iraq for eight months, and could be there for up to eighteen months. [The journal is] a perfect way to get my 10 and 11 year old boys to express some of their feelings and let them know they aren't the only ones who feel that way. ...I have never seen them more enthused about something!! It's like they finally have a voice, and it matters what they think and feel too.
Thank you for giving me the tool to help them, and thank you for giving them a smile today." — Janet L., proud Guard wife
Campers at Operation Purple Camp in Wisconsin use Deployment Journal for Kids to help express their feelings during their parent's deployment.
