A Special Goodbye
My Parent's Deployment: How I Stay Strong
In a peaceful forest, Marine the Bulldog puppy and Army the baby eagle were playing together. Suddenly, their parents called them over.

Marine's and Army's parents explained that they had to leave for a while to help protect their country. They hugged their children tightly and told them how much they loved them.

As days turned into weeks, Marine and Army missed their parents terribly. But they found comfort in writing letters and drawing pictures to send to their parents. They also received letters and care packages from their parents, filled with love and encouragement. Navy the baby seal, their kind neighbor, also spent time with them, sharing stories and playing games to keep their spirits high.

One day, Marine and Army felt sad and worried. They were scared that their parents might not come back. Navy noticed their feelings and gathered all the young animals in the forest for a special meeting. Together, they talked about their fears and found strength in supporting each other. They realized that staying strong and hopeful was important, and that their parents were brave and skilled in their work.

Marine and Army ran into their parents' loving arms, feeling overjoyed and relieved. Their parents shared stories of their adventures and thanked Navy and the other animals for taking care of their children. From that day on, Marine, Army, and Navy knew that they could overcome any challenge with love, support, and courage.
