[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 472330, member: 1514"] I have several. I GOT YOUR BACK... I am a small and precious child, my dads been sent to fight. The only place I'll see his face, is in my dreams at night. He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track. I may be sad, but I am proud. My daddy's got your back. I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war. My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before. Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black. I may be scared, but I am proud. My son has got your back. I am a strong and loving wife, with a husband soon to go. There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know. I bite my lip, and force a smile as I watch my husband pack. My heart may break, but I am proud. My husbands got your back. I am a soldier... Serving Proudly, standing tall. I fight for freedom, yours and mine by answering this call. I do my job while knowing, the thanks it sometimes lacks. Say a prayer that I'll come home. It's me who's got your back. - Autumn Parker A Soldier's Bride Copyright ©2003 Autumn Parker I AM A MARINE MOM I share my son's pride in the Marine Corps. My son has conquered the most challenging military training program the United States has to offer. The Eagle, Globe and Anchor give testimony to his title: United States Marine. He has taken his place among the history's Marines who have made the world free just hearing the words: "The Marines have landed, and the situation is well in hand. I am proud that in an age that scorns fighting men, he chose To be ready to defend his country. Although I can never fully understand his devotion to this fighting Fraternity, I realize that the closed corners of his heart and mind are no threat to our family. That without this dedication to the word Marine; and all it stands for-Honor, courage, patriotism, and devotion to duty, He would not be the man he is. I try to be familiar with the job so I can appreciate his abilities. I wait when tours of duty separate him from our family. I pray for his success in his career and for his safe return. I hope the he fulfills his potential and that I will never be a deterrent. I share a common bond with those mothers who waited During Belleau Wood, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Inchon, Vietnam, Beirut,Grenada... Knowing one day I may be the one waiting. I choose to let the possibility of loss allow me to love my son completely. My son has earned the right to be called "United States Marine. He has been tested and found not lacking. May I be worthy of the title "Marine Mom. May God Bless those who claim the title United States Marine. For what you do and are willing to do, may we be all always fully grateful.
