Dependent Quote by Anonymous
“I am a navy girlfriend. I hold no formal recognition with the powers that be. I am at the bottom of the chain. I am not a dependent or a parent. The man I love may face unspeakable dangers, and I am at the mercy of those who possess this recognition for news. I understand this and accept this.”
