“I am the Mother of an American Soldier”

I give my complete and unwavering support to my Soldier. As my son serves the people of The United States, so I humbly offer up my prayers for his safety and the safety and health of those he serves beside.

I respect his choice to adhere to a strict moral code and system of values that has preserved our great country for over two centuries. I accept that my Soldier’s first duty is to his country, and I understand that the sacrifice he willingly makes is what keeps our nation great.

I will never expect anything but the best from my Soldier, for I know he is capable. I know that a Soldier’s heart is true and strong, and that my Soldier will endure.

I will never abandon my Soldier, my Son, my Hero. I will love him unconditionally. He will know I am there for him, even when he is alone.

I am disciplined. I am emotionally and mentally tough. I am learning to wait for phone calls and letters or emails home. Like my Soldier, I am an expert.

I stand ready to do whatever I can to let my son, my Soldier, know that we are here for him, beside him, and we love him. I am the person who stood guardian of this man who has become my Soldier. He is now our guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
