Comment by Melissa on September 12, 2013 at 2:37am: Hey all! Hope all you (current) Boot Camp Moms are hanging in there - you are half way there!

If I remember correctly, I only received a couple of phone calls from my son while he was at BC - he spread his calls around, he called his brothers and his sister and his grandparents; not just me. I understood, but boy, I wished those were my calls! Now we just fumble around a two hour time difference. Good thing for text and emails.

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on September 11, 2013 at 5:43pm: Sweetpea..... I am so sorry for your loss...... my heart goes out to you... Yes God Bless America and keep her free.... Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.... love you sister and sisters

Comment by nancynature on September 11, 2013 at 3:00pm: Heartstrings, Lydia and Proudmama - Agreed!

As I sit at work at my desk eating my lunch I look out our door and there flying in front of me is our American flag at half staff. Makes me sad for those we have lost but at the same time I am so proud to be an American and even prouder of those who have decided to dedicate themselves to something greater than themselves. What an honor and privilege it is to have our son in the Navy and to know others that do also. Please pass on to your Sailors my pride in them, how I am honored by their service and thank them for for me.

Sweetpea - I am sorry you lost friends that day....

Comment by sweetpea4 on September 11, 2013 at 10:32am: Lost several friends that day! God Bless America!

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on September 11, 2013 at 9:18am: Shdutilly - welcome sista!!!! Yes you have some moms in here whose Recruits are PIRing on that day! awesome to be together and share.

proud... Oh my goodness, God bless you and your daughter we of course you whole family.. my goodness crainiotomy ahhhhhh - you must have been a basket case.. How is she doing now a year later?

Hi Jodi; Hi Heartstrings; Hi nancyn.........

Truly a day of mourning... Even though it has been 12 years, I find my self just as glued to my tv this morning as I was on that horrific morning. What an honor and privilege to have a son in the service of our GREAT country..... What an honor and privilege to know each one of you moms whose children proudly are serving and or getting ready to serve. God bless the families of the fallen and including our First Responders...

Love my mamma friends in here!!!!! Don't know what I would do with out yall

Comment by proudmama on September 11, 2013 at 9:10am: Heartstrings- thanks for posting that... I feel the same way... so appreciative of the men and women of our military... Thank you, thank you, thank you. My words sounds so little... "Thank you".... but my heart is full of appreciation and admiration.... to all you moms...

On a personal note.... we had our own 9/11 emergency last year..exactly one year ago this day... my daughter had brain surgery- a full crainiotomy- to remove a cyst. Not cancerous... but potentially deadly. While it was traumatic for our family...she did well in the surgery and to this day says that she feels soooo much better. I am thankful to the men and women who defend our country so that my daughter could have life saving surgery.

KKRHoosier-Congrats to your son and his upcoming graduation!

GMom- I don't think there is anything better than having your child love his life! Congrats!

Lydia- You and your son are never far from my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for all that you do!

Shdutilly- My son PIRs on 10/11 too! Welcome:)

NancyN- I'm going to send you a pm this evening:) Thanks for your note and all your encouragement! I think your son's wedding is right around the corner?

Comment by Jodi-alumni Ship 4 on September 11, 2013 at 9:03am: Welcome shdutilly.

You are so right Heartstrings. It is an honor to be mothers of these outstanding young men and women.

Comment by Tiffany on September 11, 2013 at 8:35am: Good Morning Ladies.

I am feeling emotional this morning Remembering.
I am so proud of our Sons & Daughters for making the decision to serve our country even after these horrible events in 2001. What an honor to be the Mother of a Navy Sailor.

God Bless
