As a seasoned Army wife and mom, Moseley is familiar with the roller-coaster ride of emotions a deployment entails. “I know I’ll be a little down, a little depressed; it’s hard around the holidays,” she said. “But I’ve learned to reach out to friends, put more effort into the [family readiness group].”
Moseley is one of thousands of family members weathering the holidays without a deployed loved one this year. More than 140,000 U.S. servicemembers are deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, along with thousands more to other locations around the world.
