Though I do not remember how it started, it became my custom to point at my wife when, at the end of Eshet Chayil I would say ‘many women have done gloriously, but YOU surpass them all.’ As they grew, I was pleased to see that my children also pointed at their mother when I said the ‘you’ in the verse. I am even more pleased today, for I have a son-in-law who now points to my daughter and a son who points to his wife.

(Rabbi Jeffrey Segelman. Reflections on Eshet Chayil.)
The word in Hebrew for “valor” is “chayal,” which also means “soldier.” When one thinks of a Jewish woman, a soldier is not necessarily the term that comes to mind. And yet a soldier is most definitely valorous and most aptly describes her role. A soldier is one who dedicates her life to fight and defend what is most precious and beloved. A soldier likewise must always be thinking not only of her own safety but of her comrades as well. The underlying principle of armies around the world, and most definitely of our Jewish army in Israel, is no soldier left behind. Every single person is indispensable and must be protected and cared for. We are soldiers, valorous soldiers, fighting for our families, fighting for our beliefs, fighting for our values. We know challenge and we have faced it head on and we have overcome it. The woman of valor is not someone else. Each and every one of us has that potential within us. We just need to look. We just need to find her.
