(23,272 posts)The candidates wife explained that Mormon missions were like military service in that youre going outside of yourself, youre working and youre helping others. And it changes you. And are we so grateful in this country for those people men and women that are volunteering, theyre sacrificing their life for us, and we cannot forget that or we have to acknowledge that always.
So, when youre facing these mothers whose children have not come back, how will you explain to them that your sons havent gone? Goldberg pressed. Will you talk about the missions theyve gone on?
I would say its probably the hardest thing that a president and a first lady probably do is to comfort those that have lost a love one and have gone in harms way, Ann Romney replied, not directly answering the question. It is an amazing country, we have the most extraordinary fighting men and women, and we have to be so grateful for them. Of course, its hard, and I dont think that any of us can understand the sacrifice that are being made by families.
