She wrote a long book, a diary really, from which this is one passage:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Six months after our trip to Europe, my life changed from elated to dreading Erik\u2019s orders for Operation Desert Shield, which became Desert Storm, then The Gulf War.\u00a0 Erik had enlisted in the Army and was stationed at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and then he was stationed in Germany for a year, and then in January he entered the war with his unit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was born to do all the worrying for the whole family, I think, and was having my usual reactions while thinking about the (happy) details of family events, along with the (terrible) thoughts of Erik in harm\u2019s way, all at the same time. One morning, Dave said some everyday thing to me, probably about the weather, and I snapped at him and told him not to talk so much. Obviously, I was not myself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I returned from an errand later in the day, on the kitchen table was a prescription Dave got from our family doctor. After Dave described that morning\u2019s situation and my reactions, the doctor ordered Buspar, a sedative. Dave did me a favor, and \u201cgave me a gift\u201d of his support at that difficult time and didn\u2019t get angry at me for being short-tempered. He understood! Thanks, Dave!<\/p>\n<p>Erik returned home safely. I prayed prayers of thanks. \u00a0<strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little detail about my daily life during this time: I discovered Rush Limbaugh\u2019s program on the radio. From that moment on, throughout the war, I listened to Rush for the only complete, daily 3-hour discussions about everything known up to the minute about news from the Gulf. The symbol of this war for the home front families were yellow ribbons, tied around trees, attached to mailboxes, worn on our clothes, etc., until the war was over.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ContentPasted0\">During Desert Storm, Dave <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id49687-grandfather-says-the-veterans-list.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">compiled a veteran\u2019s list<\/a>,<\/span><span class=\"ContentPasted0\">\u00a0printed periodically in the <em>Monroe Watchman<\/em>.<\/span><span class=\"ContentPasted0\">\u00a0\u00a0People \u00a0from all over Monroe County called him with names of veterans in their families, their dates of discharge or KIA date, or whether they were currently on active duty. \u00a0Each week, the Watchman published the names of those newly added to the main list. \u00a0The list became very long, filling several pages of a <em>Watchman<\/em> issue. I<span class=\"ContentPasted1\">n the 1991 Farmers Day parade in Union,\u00a0<\/span>the veterans list was\u00a0displayed\u00a0<span class=\"ContentPasted2\">on a huge white board<\/span> on a parade float\u00a0and Erik marched in the parade in his uniform.
