Krisirae Orta was married for four years to Marine Sgt. Aaron Orta, who is deployed in Operation Enduring Freedom with the 2nd Marine Division on the dock landing ship Whidbey Island. The couple divorced a year ago because, Krisirae says, Aaron is “married to the Marine Corps, and you can’t be married to two things.” Even so, she and her daughter from a previous marriage, 11-year-old Ashli Rae, “still love and miss him.” Mother and daughter now live in Aberdeen, Md.

To a special United States Marine:

For over a year now, we have been apart. I am proud you are a United States Marine as you love and protect our country. We love you, we miss you, we pray for you. Our hearts ache. Aaron, we love you more than you will ever know! We will continue to pray for you and the United States Marine Corps family that God keeps you safe!

I’m sorry if I ever ignored you. I’m sorry if I ever made you feel bad or put you down. I’m sorry if I ever thought I was bigger or better than you. Don’t ever forget that through bad times and good, I’ll always be here for you. I’m writing this because what if you never get to say good-bye or give a big hug to the people you care about? What if you never get to say I’m sorry or I love you? What if tomorrow never comes?

I LOVE YOU!

God Bless America,
Krisi
