One fall, my husband and I attended the San Diego State-Navy football game in San Diego.  During half-time I went to the pay phone to check in with my kids but found a sailor in the nearest booth having a teary conversation with his sweetheart.  Being a Navy wife, I know how hard it was being separated from loved ones, so I gladly gave him room for his conversation.  My sympathy subsided, however, when I heard his last heartfelt statement: “You know I’d be there with you, honey,” he said emotionally, “but I’m stuck here in Virginia.”
