Hi Sharon and Classmates,
Perhaps I am a little
late with this, but I have been swamped and just got over pneumonia.
So I am late---late--late--
My son, Kirby, retired
from the Air Force 2 years ago, and should have been out of harms
way. However, after his retirement,
he decided to go back
"military" and work with the Air Force and the Government, and is now on a
Saudi Air Force Base
representing our country
and military. His son, Ian, who is now 20, is an Ensign in the US
Navy and is serving on the
USS
Monterey.
I was sent the following item,
and I did not see it on the web page, but it may have been there.
Having had five children in the military at one
time, I am a dyed-in-the-wool military mother and will be to the
end.
'WOW'
!!!
GOT
YOUR BACK
I am a small and precious
child,
My daddy's 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 husband's 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.
