What does it mean to you to be a military mom? As submitted by Cindy
My son joined the Army at 17. I wanted him
to wait at least until he was 18. He had done a lot of
research, and told me that all he had ever wanted to be was a
soldier. I will never forget seeing him leave our home with his
recruiter. We got to see him "turn blue." He turned 21 when he
was deployed to Iraq. He returned safely. He decided to try for
Special Forces. He is now a Green Beret and deployed to
Afghanistan. He is my hero.
I think about him every day. I pray that he
will stay safe.
I write at least once a week, sometimes more
often. We send him packages every month. He spent his 23rd
birthday overseas.
I am so very proud of him. He doesn't want me
to make a "big deal" about his service, so I brag all I can to
everyone else I know! LOL
He hasn't been able to come home because of
his training, so I am really looking forward to seeing him when he
gets finished with this deployment. Hopefully, he'll get to come
home.
