When Sgt. First Class Craig Boehlke was deployed to Kuwait for 12 months with the Army National Guard, his wife Rebecca found solace in her faith and the community of St. William in Waukesha. With two small children, Ben, 7, and Mabelle, 3, Rebecca was open and honest when communicating with her children.

“We said prayers for him every night,” said Rebecca. “I talked to the adult ministry at our church for our son. It was hard for him to understand why his dad had to be gone.
