Thank you Leapfrog.
We're not in Texas anymore,
I'm a Tarheel Pirate now.
We buried a child in Texas, our first son.
Our second "Texan" is active duty USMC.
The third "Texan" loves his brother and hears all this garbage and can't quite bear to think about the possibilies. Who can?
And the baby girl loves all her USMC "bros".
If you all only knew how grateful I am,
how many tears are falling now....
This one's for you Leapfrog and all who can make it:
When you are a soldier I will be your shield
I will go with you into the battlefield
And when the arrows start to fly
Take my hand and hold on tight
I will be your shield, 'cause I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
When you're tired from running
I will cheer you on
Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone
And when your strength is all but gone
I'll carry you until you're strong
And I will be your shield 'cause I know how it feels
When you're a soldier

I second that. THIS one's for Our Troops!
