For Jeanne Ferrere, her time at Fort Stewart, Ga., wasn’t easy. She was balancing life as a mother, wife and U.S. Army nurse for the 24th Infantry Division, and her husband was deployed overseas.
“It was difficult,” she said. “You know, what were the odds that everybody’s husband was going to come back? That was always on your mind.”
Her husband, Army Capt. Daniel Ferrere, of Grove City, Pa., was deployed to both Iraq and Kuwait for Operation Desert Storm in 1991.
Many other couples were in the same situation, with both of them being in the military and only one being deployed.
