I'm proud of my Marine

answering the call,

enlisting during troubled times...

your destiny for freedom.

So much of life to see, and disciplines to learn,

no matter what the future brings

my soul is at peace knowing you followed your heart.

What is life without a challenge,

a future without goals?

We are here to make a difference,

with opportunites to grow.

So rise to the occasion Son, with a future full of hope.

Know you are in our thoughts, heart and prayers. 

I'm proud of my son Robert serving in the Army. 

He's now in Afghanistan serving freedom's cause.

On the eve of 9/11 he raised the U.S. Flag high,

proclaiming victory and liberty in the Afghan sky.

What is life without a challenge,

a future without goals?

We are here to make a difference,

with opportunities to grow.

So rise to the occasion Sons

to a future full of promise.

Know that you are in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. 

We are proud of you both.

Thank you Lord.
