Your heart should breaking as you read this. Because you all need to realize something about Usha Vance Karoline Leavitt Jennifer Hegseth and Jeanette Rubio These four women right now are each carrying something that most people will never fully understand. Usha Vance pregnant with her fourth child baby boy coming in July and JD chose no formal leave. She is home. Alone. Counting the days. While her husband carries America. Karoline Leavitt who stood at the most powerful podium in America for 39 weeks pregnant never missed a single day. Came back to work four days after having baby Niko. And today holds baby Vivi knowing another briefing is always just around the corner. Jennifer Hegseth who holds seven children together every single time Pete boards that plane. Every deployment. Every trip. Every morning the kids ask where dad is. She answers. Alone. And Jeanette Rubio who has watched her husband cross three continents in one week away from her away from their children for a country that may never fully know her name.
Four women. Four completely different sacrifices. One identical truth. They never asked America to see them. They never posted about what it costs. They never once made it about themselves. They just held everything together. Quietly. Completely. So their husbands could hold America. And today we just need every American to stop for one moment. And say something these four women have waited too long to hear. Thank you. Not for your husbands. For you. For everything you carry that nobody films.
God cover Usha. Cover Karoline. Cover Jennifer. Cover Jeanette. And remind every one of them America sees you. Even on the days it forgets to say it. Make sure to repost this today. Because these women deserve to be seen.
With baseball season about to start, and us once again not having season tickets, this is my annual mention that my son (who is now a freshman at State 😊) and I will be glad to occupy any seats you can’t fill as we are local. (Plus my husband is the PA at Dudy Noble.) 🫶🏼

@Bulldog_Graphic Side note too is not all members had all their uniform pieces in until last week, so they couldn’t have before then either. My son just got his shako (hat). Yes, just tired of the topic. “Football doing well, so let’s pick on the band” kind of thing I guess. 🤷🏼♀️
For you uniform complainers- 😤. All 3 of us are marching today- 2 of us as alums and my youngest on the Drumline. I marched ‘93-‘96 full uniform every game. SO VERY thankful the FMB added “summer uniforms” before my oldest started in 2020! Thanks for making students safety 1st!
