  1. A Soldier's Mother's Creed ~
    "I am the mother of an American Soldier. I give my complete and unwavering support to my soldier. As my son serves the people of the United States, so I humbly offer up prayers for his safety and the safety and health of those he serves beside.
    I respect his choice to adhere to a strict moral code and a system of values that has preserved our country over two centuries.
    I accept that my soldier's first duty is to his country and I understand that this sacrifice he willingly makes is what keeps our nation great. I will never expect anything but the best from my soldier, for I know he is capable. I know that a soldier's heart is true and strong, and that my soldier will endure. I will never abandon my soldier, my son. I will love him unconditionally. He will know I am there with him, even when he is alone. I am disciplined, emotionally and mentally tough, learning to wait for phone calls and letters or emails home.
    I, like my soldier, am an expert. I stand ready to do whatever I can do to let my son, my soldier, know that we are here for him, behind him, we love him, and I will pray for the swift destruction of the enemies of our country.
    I am the person who stood guardian of this man who has become my soldier, now our guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
    I am the proud mother of an American Soldier."

    I am one of the fortunate. My soldier son came home unexpectantly last night. We hugged for a long time.
