 If you asked a room full of 10 people what the hardest part about being deployed was, you'd probably get around nine at the same answers. Really the hardest part about it is time being away from the family. As a service member it's very taxing. Taxing not only on service members like Ellis Won Pescozo, but also for his family and many families like his back home. I feel a bit sad but it's a big responsibility I got to take to take care of my mom and my sister. Honestly I don't really go in depth. I just tell them that daddy has a job to do and I have to do it. In light of this month, service members and families are encouraged to appreciate and respect the children that serve their country in a different way. It's their strength, their patience. Those are those are the things I really appreciate from my family.
