My son Pv2Smith, is in BCT in FT LEONARD WOOD he left the 20^th of August  this has to be the most emotional roller coaster  I’ve every been on  his 20  got married in February  07  he has a son on the way  in October  07  he has his heart on being here for the birth  I pray he is   I know he wants a career with the Army .I’m extremely  Proud of him as well his father  is  we miss him every day . Pray all the time for him and all are troops are country . Are President  to Guide us right  , He’ll turn 21  on the 16^th  that’s gonna be real hard  we all ways celebrate, he is the 2^nd child out of 4  he was always the one who would open the gift  and if it could be took apart  he did it  just to see how it worked  he would fix old tv, radio, remote control cars  anything that had screws he took it apart , would put it all back  1 Christmas  I bought him a leap frog book that told stories  he had it apart in 5 min setting there with parts every where  me asking him why did you do that  walked off went back in 5 min later he  had it out all back he was 5 then so I knew he was about a challenge  . He’s our Hero  here  he‘s loved by all he meets he handsome tall and 3 generation of Military Family  who held up the torch to continue serving our country . SO God be with them all  and protect them night and day as they do us  I will always expect to see him  don’t know when but soon I hope  Please pray for all as we do  . I know there’s a chance he’ll go over seas  and that might be the hardest  to deal with but where he goes   I go in love and spirit  I all ways want him to know we are there with him  not by sight  but in love & memories  we’ve got a lot   thanks for allowing me to email this site  I cried doing this I do miss him so   Thanks Mother of Soldier  Lisa Smith
