I am not sure if my son should join just because I don't know how emotionally strong he needs to be.

Nancy, I don't know how old your son is. But the Navy has so much to offer and I'm sure he will over come his shyness. Joining the navy is a decision he can explore and it would be a good one. Let ...

No Respect at the Airports!

Have you ever met a person that fulfilled you deep inside?
Someone who has never failed you and stands, no matter, by your side.
Someone who gives from their heart and brings sunshine all around,
Always smiling and laughing, never seeming down.

Have you ever watched a sunset across the ocean shore,
And been filled with love and peace, never needing more?
Have you ever listened to the wind flowing restlessy through the night?
And heard the angel's whispers helping you when you've lost sight.

Have you heard a song that moves you and sets your soul free,
And makes you feel wild and happy.
And feel so worthy inside, that you didn't care?
You see my friend heavenly creatures surround you,
So listen closely to what they say,
They'll bring you all of life's riches, as they guide you along your way.

I Need Support !!

Our son as you all know is deployed and we are winding down on that time. Lately, he is very short with me and easily irrated by my emails and he is not comfortable speaking to me. I will admit I'm a pain and write him daily. He is very busy , I know that but I'm so afraid , what if I didn't say I love you or tell him your so appreciated and we are so proud ! What if God forbid something happened and I didn't say enough. So after I saw LETTERS FROM WAR, I broke down , I don't want my son to feel… Continue

N4moms commercial

hey girls,

My husband was watching t.v and sees an ad, navy sailors were dropping from a helicopter and the it said , support the Navy and N4Moms web site. Of course I missed it, darn I was food shopping. I'm so proud of this group and our members. This is a wonderful family of loving and caring people. What a great idea, and I can't wait to see it. Maria

Maria, I am glad he is working on his Eagle Scout Badge I have been doing Scouting for 11 yrs. My sons are Eagle and Star. This is a great project but make sure your council appoves be for stating. Take lots of pictures all the way thur so he can show progress. I hate school is about out classmates love to help with this. Let me know what I can do and yes I would count this comment toward 20 minutes on his project.

Hi Maria, how long was your son's deployment? My daughter is finishing up 6 months in Kuwait, but has been told there could be another 12-18 month stint in the not-to-distant future. Btw, i LOVE the "God Bless Our Military" graphic on your page. Take care & God bless.
