Book: Behind the Blue-Star Banner

Jun-21-2008 » Filed Under: 172nd SBCT

The Olympian has an interview with author Michelle Cuthrell, who wrote a book about her experience while her husband was deployed with the 172nd SBCT. Excerpt:

Michelle Cuthrell has a message for military families with loved ones who are overseas: "If you're having a hard time with deployment, that's OK," she said. "That's normal."

The 25-year-old Ohio native has spent three deployments away from her husband, Army Captain Matthew Cuthrell, a battalion medical plans officer who is based at Fort Lewis.

"You get used to the routine that you fall into, but you never get used to having your husband away," she said. "You always miss him like crazy."
