We are so proud, our son has signed up for the Military today as we also worry we are proud that he is willing to do for his Country. The picture is of our son with his Dad who is in full uniform. Are we proud oh yes.

The Pride In Our Eyes
You don’t know how proud we were
The day you came along
To join our happy family
Where we knew you did belong
You took that journey
As we followed you through life
How very proud you made us son
Taking this special lady for your wife
Soon you showered us with children
A special piece of you with us to share
Two perfect grandchildren
Who like their  precious parents
Would grow to love and care
Today we watch you take another step
A direction you passed many years ago
We salute you for the man we see
Through the years with pride
Hoping that we somehow helped
 By being not just your parents but your guide
 Always remember the words that we’ve said
You’ve always been very special son to us dear
And you’ve always made us proud of you
Through each and every year.

Sis this poem is so beautiful, and I can certainly see his father's eyes beaming with pride. If the force's does for him as it did his father, way to go.
