She watched her son get on the plane
to fly somewhere far away
and as tears brimmed in her eyes
she heared her fragile voice say
God bless you son I will be here
call when you get time
and know that you will be each day
in every prayer of mine....

the plane took off and her heart broke
But pride also filled her heart
because she knew his reasons to go
Tho it hurt to be apart.
He was a man -she'd done her job
He was doing what he was called to do
And with the help of God above
They'd both somehow make it thru.

My son is what he'll always be
but a soldier he is now
I have to hold admiration and love
Tho its hard to watch the news somehow.
Even to Hes serving us all
and giving all hes got
To see my son a soldier too
Somedays takes more than alot

So if you would as you kneel and pray
remember my son too
as hes out there in the sand
fighting for me and you
just say a few words and thank the Lord
for keeping him safe and knowing
that even though I am his mom
My american pride is showing.


Though I dont agree with the war itself
I support these folks all the way
for sacrificing all they do
each and every day
I know these colors do not run
The red and whit and blue
So on this day especially
Ill stand tall with a salute to you...



To all our service members and their families
present , past and future.
Thank you...
Tressia
